Carlow remembers the hunger strikers

The Tony Ruane/Myles Shevlin Cumann of Republican Sinn Féin in Carlow will be marking the 30th anniversary of the 1981 H Block hunger strikes with a picket in Carlow Town on Saturday July 9. The picket will also be in solidarity with the Republican prisoners in Maghaberry Prison Co Antrim who have recommenced a protest in defence of their right to political status.
