Seán Treacy Commemoration

Kilfeacle, County Tipperary

Seán Treacy and Francie Molloy speaking at his commemoration

THE annual Seán Treacy Commemoration in Kilfeacle, County Tipperary, last month heard Mid-Ulster Sinn Féin MLA Francie Molloy speak of the pride we republicans have in all those who made the ultimate sacrifice to bring about the total withdraw of British forces from Ireland.
Referring to ongoing media speculation about a possible visit by the head of the British royal family and the British armed forces, he said: “As long as part of our country is occupied, inviting the Queen of England to visit Ireland should be the last thing on our minds.
“The priority for the people of Ireland should be the unification of Ireland,”
Noting that local newspapers were reporting “a family being evicted to protect the banks”, the Sinn Féin MLA urged people to mobilise and remove the Fianna Fáil/Green Party Government from office.
“There is no jobs policy, no policy to deal with home-owners in difficulty with mortgages. They should stop privatising health services.
“Replace them with Sinn Féin and other parties of the Left that will look after the marginalised in our society.”
