NO TO LONDON OR BRUSSELS DOMINATION – RSF

A spokesman for Republican Sinn Féin has said that comments made by Jose Manuel Barroso that the Six Counties represents a 'great example of peace' are part of a wider campaign promoting the lie that the National Question has been resolved. National Publicity Officer, Richard Walsh, added that Irish history shows that so long as the British presence remains in Ireland, there will continue to be all manner of resistance to it.

“Mr. Barroso's claims that Stormont Ministers can export expertise in 'peace-building' are equally flawed. McGuinness' presence in Finland at what were billed as 'peace talks' between Iraqis was an exercise in duplicity. As one of the chief protagonists in the war on Iraq, British Ministers are not qualified to secure reconciliation amongst the people of Iraq. Their role there is every bit as dishonourable as their role in Ireland.

“The Stormont duo's meeting with Mr. Barroso also comes at a time when one part of Ireland prepares for a referendum on the Lisbon 'Reform Treaty', which is a Constitution for the EU in all but name. Already the 26-County State is embarking upon an aggressive campaign to ensure a result in the affirmative is achieved. We have seen already through the re-run of the Nice Treaty Referendum that the Dublin Administration can only accept one outcome.

“Republican Sinn Féin does not wish for domination by London to be replaced with domination by Brussels, and has consistently opposed the advance of the EC/EEC/EU. We are calling on voters in the 26-Counties to also reject the EU Constitution” said Mr. Walsh.

If there is peace in Ireland at present, it is because the provos threw the towel in. There is still a question mark over the soverenty of this island. We know all too well how the peace loving British state would react if anyone else stuck their heads up to challange them.

Subordination to merchants of death

CTL, a Galway company led by Dr. Conchur O Bradaigh, is engaged in research work for the worlds leading merchants of death

This work is financed not just by Lockheed and Raytheon but is subsidized by the Irish and British governments. Talk of Irish sovereignty which does not directly confront this subjugation to the Anglo-American war economy makes no political sense.
