Where men find strength within their hearts, to stand for what is right. Oppression equals slavery and resistance stems from both. Find those who fight to end it, are soldiers of the truth” (from the writings of Martin Hurson on hunger strike). Remembered with pride by the Hurson/Quirke Sinn Féin Cumann, Galway City West, Galway.
