Landmark judgment finds murdered Irish teen was blameless

The wheels of justice? War crimes committed by the British occupiers in northern Ireland fifty years ago are only now being officially acknowledged. Irish Republican News The exoneration of Leo Norney, half a century after his wanton murder and its cover-up by the British army of occupation, reminds us why the British government is so keen to pass its ‘legacy’ bill. The new legislation is aimed at limiting any future investigations and legal action relating to crimes committed by British state forces during the Irish liberation war of 1968-98. This article is reproduced from Irish Republican News with thanks. ***** The family of a teenage boy killed by the British army in 1975 has welcomed an inquest judgment that found he was entirely innocent when he w...

End internment of Irish republicans now

Why are Irish republicans still being imprisoned without charge by British courts, 25 years after the initiation of the peace process? Irish Republican News It is comfortable to think that political prisoners in Ireland are a thing of the past, but the truth is that militant republicans are still being jailed without charge in an ongoing campaign of collective punishment against their movement.

Members of the Soaradh leadership have now endured three years of ‘internment by remand’. The party is calling on all republicans and human rights groups to speak out about the mo...

How Polio Shaped My Life

BY PATRICK COCKBURN Patrick Cockburn aged seven, in a wheelchair after catching polio in 1956 in Ireland. I was unlucky in catching polio. It was in Cork, Ireland in 1956 during one of the last polio epidemics ever in western Europe and the US. A vaccine had been successfully tested the previous year and, at the time I fell ill, mass inoculation was being rolled out for the first time to stop the spread of the virus in Chicago. The number of new infections declined as herd immunity was established, marking a turning point in the effort to stop epidemic polio. The success of this decades-long campaign was one of the greatest US achievements in the 20th century. Not that it did me any good at the time as I was admitted to St Finbarr’s fever hospital in Cork city ...

BY KENNETH SURIN Photograph Source: Sinn Féin – Protest at Boris Johnson visit – CC BY 2.0 The recent UK midterm elections delivered a historic verdict in the north of Ireland when Sinn Féin, standing for a reunited Ireland, emerged as the largest party. Sinn Féin topped the first-preference vote with 29%, and won 27 seats, enabling its deputy leader, Michelle O’Neill, to become the north of Ireland’s first minister-designate. O’Neill is the first nationalist to hold this position in a momentous blow to Protestant-oriented Unionism. The Democratic Unionist party (DUP), the largest of the Unionist parties won 25 seats. The cross-community Alliance Party won 13 seats, becoming the third-largest party in an election for the first time. The DUP, much chagrined at...
