AOH Home of the Brooklyn Irish. Posted by Jim on October 1. Members of Dungannon Thomas Clarke’s GAA club have walked 1. Dublin to Dungannon John Monaghan 1. October, 2. 01. 6 0. LOYALIST victims campaigner Willie Frazer has branded participants in a fundraising walk for a Tyrone GAA club as “dissidents” and “republican scum.”The walk for Thomas Clarkes GFC began at Arbour Hill Cemetery in Dublin on Wednesday at the burial place of the club’s patron, a key figure in the 1. Easter Rising, and finished on Sunday in Dungannon with a 5k run and a programme of family entertainment at O’Neill Park.
The proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards a planned new club complex – including a new main pitch, seated stand and floodlights, modern pavilion, as well as indoor training and playing facilities – to co- incide with its centenary next year. However, at the weekend Mr Frazer posted a video on social media in which he lashed out at the event.“Apparently some dissidents and their colleagues are walking from Dublin to Dungannon to commemorate 1. Dungannon to go to the Rising.“I know some of them would certainly need to do a bit of walking when you see the cut of them.
He added: “It is a total and utter disgrace that these people are allowed to go out to commemorate terrorists. Apparently they have walked from Dublin but they probably got the bus to Keady.”The Co Armagh victims campaigner then went on to claim most of those involved “are dissidents” and urged viewers of his video- post to “find out how these people have been given permission to walk 4. Northern Ireland without anybody saying it is contentious.”He said: “We can’t walk a few hundred yards without it being contentious.“There is the Thomas Clarke (sic) GAA club as well. They made sure to take the long road so not too have come past Markethill. Lol”The postings led to a number of derogatory comments about the fundraiser from Mr Frazer’s supporters, including one which read: “A landmine wouldn’t go amiss.”Other online comments ridiculed Mr Frazer’s video, with one woman stating: “Ahh have you ever heard so much bitterness?
There’ll be an army there alright to meet them, #Ts. C2. 5K army which is totally inclusive regardless of religion, nationality and any politics whatsoever.”Thomas Clarkes GAC chairman Damian Cahalane told The Irish News the club was aware of the video but would not be commenting.

However he was talking in terms of the free movement of people and goods on the island. That seems to be what the Taoiseach’s planned . In the last week the indications are that other EU members are lining up to make negotiations as difficult as possible for the British government after Theresa May and her ministers’ aggressive and provocative remarks at her party’s rally in Birmingham. The Conservative Brexiteers really know how to make friends and influence people. May and her immediate xenophobic entourage are the only people who count. Our proconsul, her local little Englander Sir Echo, is her political lapdog who has worked with her during his years at the Home Office where her authoritarianism was evident in every statement.
Our proconsul takes care to use exactly the same words as May, for example . Control of numbers means leaving the single market and probably the customs union too. She, and of course her local lapdog, witter on about the Common Travel Area, deliberately confusing it with free trade in goods which it certainly isn’t. How the two are going to be equated in Charlie Flanagan’s . How do you retain the right to pursue the aspiration towards Irish unity to be operated by a Border Poll, as provided in the Good Friday Agreement, when the North isn’t in the EU?
So far only the Taoiseach has made a passing reference to this problem in an important speech a couple of weeks ago. Suppose post Brexit—in a decade with an inevitable Nationalist voting majority— especially as economic hardship bites, suppose people did vote for Irish unity, how would that work when the North isn’t in the EU? How does it join? The Taoiseach compared the problem to West Germany’s position after 1. It joined with East Germany which was admitted automatically after 1. EEC as it then was.
Could the North do the same, and , if so, what would the Scottish government think if the same arrangements weren’t available to Scotland? Would other EU members agree? Would Spain want similar arrangements to incorporate Gibraltar as their price?
Charlie Flanagan and the Irish government need to start thinking about how they incorporate such a process as the German one into the . The Irish government goes on about how a hard border will cause difficulties for the peace process. Cutting immigration is the number one priority in order to steal UKIP’s clothes and undermine Labour. Dublin should remind them of the consequences of ignoring Ireland. Posted by Jim on October 1. Pauline Mellon on the Ardoyne parades dispute, from her blog. Ardoyne has been at the centre of a lot ofcontroversy recently following negotiations to dismantle the Twadell.
Protest Camp. The Protest Camp was set up in July 2. Orange Order Parade. What was effectivelyan act of trespass on the part of the protesters ended up costing thetaxpayer a staggering #2. Ardoyne area. Yes folks you’ve read thatcorrectly, at a time when health, education and welfare budgets werebeing slashed, #2.
Welcome to Starship Norn Iron! A few weeks ago it emerged that negotiations to dismantle the Twadellcamp were not only ongoing but at an advanced stage. Key to thesenegotiations were two gentlemen in particular, the Reverend Harold Goodeand Derry . The Reverend Harold Goode iswell known for his input in situations of a sensitive nature but I failto see where Jim Roddy fitted here, in fact I’m equally curious as towhat line of business he is in. Let me clarify, it is not my intention to dismiss Jim’s efforts, on thecontrary, his temerity is to be commended.
With the removal of the. Twadell camp marking the first phase of a possible many Jim now has thetask of engaging with residents who are clearly unhappy with the processand the outcome of the negotiations both he and others played a pivotalrole in.
So on that note, Good Luck Jim! The angry scenes in Ardoyne last weekend dominated news headlines andsingled out one Ardoyne resident in particular, GARC spokesperson Dee. Fennell. In a spate of unbalanced media reporting Fennell has beenheavily criticised and labelled a bully for his forthright mannertowards local clergy member Fr Gary Donegan.
What some press outletshave failed to show or mention is that Fennell’s input came about as hetried to diffuse a potentially volatile situation involving irateresidents. This is clear from the unedited version of video footagewhich appeared online.
As someone who has crossedswords (online debate) with Fennell in the past and with no axe togrind either way I feel that Fennell is being used as a scapegoat todeflect from a deal which excluded residents from a process they shouldhave been central to. Something which has has been confirmed by one. Ardoyne resident I am friendly with. Not much of a fresh start! As the dust settled I was surprised to read that Father Gary Doneganstated that the . Oddly, I don’t remember any news reports from.
Saturday showing people throwing bombs at children trying to get toschool. It would seem that Father Gary is playing his part in trying tomove the focus away from the issue of contention residents face, whichis they don’t want a loyalist parade in their area.
If you’re readingthis Father Donegan I would suggest a period of reflection followed by aconcerted effort to engage with your flock, and this time the entireflock. After all if I’m not mistaken does Catholic not mean universaland all encompassing because if I’m right then helping exclude residentsfrom the process wasn’t very Catholic of you. To understand why people are feeling angry particularly those who wereprevented from going about their daily business on Saturday those quickto condemn them should have a cursory glance at Article 8 of the. European Convention on Human Rights. This article provides for the rightto have your family, private life, home and correspondence respected. Article 9 provides for the right to freedom of thought, conscience andreligion, so those parishioners of Father Donegan’s who couldn’t attendhis church, in their own area, or who are being lambasted by the mediafor expressing an opinion are having their human rights violated. Buthey why let facts get in the way of deflection!
One of the things that saddened me most this weekend was the scene withthe older man who was clearly frustrated by the way he and his communityhad been treated, a man who has since been described as a heckler. Wherewas Father Gary’s Christianity as he stood glaring at this older man? Itseemed that Father Donegan was incapable of understanding that this manwas upset and moreover, incapable of responding to him. This was a longway from when the same Father Donegan was interviewed for an articlecalled .
There were nearly 1. Holy Cross issue and the attackson School children. Added to this has been the violence meted outagainst residents during successive marching seasons. Violence such as aleading loyalist ramming his car into a crowd of people injuring a 1.
The reality now for the people of Ardoyne is that a precedent has beenset for the return leg of the Orange Order march. As it stands residentsare now in limbo as to what happens next and unsure of what they willhave to . To address this there needs to be immediate dialoguebetween the negotiators and local residents, particularly thoseinitially excluded from the process. With this I do hope a broadconsensus can be reached.
