As will be seen from the following presentation, the tactic of hunger strike has been employed by Irish Republicans since the beginning of the 20th century. Irish martyrs first died on hunger strike in their fight against the British Occupation of Ireland just after the Easter Rising of 1916. Thomas Ashe perished in this way […]
As bad as the conflict in the Occupied Six Counties of Ireland was (and is), there was always a dark sense of humour to accompany the violence.

This is just one more episode in the Dirty War fought by the colonial forces against militant Republicans in Ireland. The blood of […]
This documentary does not pull its punches. It covers many of the best known operations undertaken by militant Republicans. This is a good introduction for anyone wishing to learn about the Republican war against British colonialism in the north of Ireland and beyond. If you care, give it a share
Women have always played an important role in Irish rebellion. Whether they were active militants, such as Lady Markievicz, or were providing logistical support such as Mary Ann McCracken, or were writing literature, such as our focus today, Ellen O’Leary, the womanhood of Ireland have been to the fore in an ofttimes male-dominated world.
