The Donegal Community of Malin Head and republicans throughout Derry have been thrown into grief by the loss of republican stalwart Roddy Doherty who passed away last week after a short illness. A republican with a history stretching back to the 1940's Roddy was always active and had played a very positive role in the struggle for the liberation of our country. His commitment to Óglaigh na hÉireann in the North Donegal area during that period was continually tested and proved through hard times when it was not popular to be overtly republican.
