Sempre più consenso per i Repubblicani in Irlanda.A Short Strand, la piccola enclave Nazionalista/Repubblicana di East Belfast, era stato organizzato un meeting del RUC/PSNI. I giovani Compagni Repubblicani del Republican Socialist Youth Movement, l'ala giovanile dell'Irish Republican Socialist Party, insieme a Membri del 32CSM, del RNU e a molti abitanti di Short, si sono radunati per protestare conto il British Policing in Ireland, e per testimoniare la perenne ostilità contro la Polizia, che mai sarà la benvenuta a Short Strand.
On The 15th Of June a RUC/PSNI meeting was held along with It’s Stormont associates in the Strand community centre. Residents of the Short Strand and Republican Socialist organisations came together In protest against this event. Organisations Such as the IRSP, RSYM, 32csm and RNU attended along with Short Strand residents In a dignified peacefull protest in which to highlight that the RUC/PSNI British armed police force was not welcome in the Short Strand.
The Short Strand community over the past conflict has showed resistance against British invasion and oppression, Once again on this night resistance was shown by Working Class youth from the Short Strand area against another invasion, While a dignified peacefull protest was finished, A number of missles was thrown at the RUC/PSNI by youth from the area, The Republican Socialist Youth Movement believe by these actions this in fact proves the lact of community support for RUC/PSNI within the area.
The Republican Socialist Youth Movement call on those who invited the RUC/PSNI into the Short Strand to cease the activites immediately because their actions are in fact breeding violent unneeded action and as seen last night the majority of the people of short strand sent a clear cut message to the RUC/PSNI, that they are not welcome!

Inoltre, è con immensa soddisfazione che riporto il comunicato di Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, Presidente del Republican Sinn Féin, riguardo alla vittoria del Candidato del RSF, Tomás Ó Curraoin, alla carica di Consigliere nel Galway County Council. E' un grandissimo risultato a mio avviso, poiché è la dimostrazione che il Messaggio Repubblicano può ancora attecchire in Irlanda. Spero che il Portavoce del RSF x il nostr paese, Massimiliano Vitelli, nuovo frequentatore di questo forum, possa aggiungere un ulteriore illuminante commento
In a statement on June 8 Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, President, Republican Sinn Féin said:
“The leadership of Republican Sinn Féin congratulates all who took part in the 26-County local elections in support of our nine candidates over seven counties.
“Much energy and our limited resources were expended in promoting the Republican ideal especially in the past couple of months.
“The victory of Councillor Tomás Ó Curraoin in the Conamara area of Co Galway in reclaiming one of the two Co Council seats held by the organisation in the past was indeed a tonic.
“That outstanding success proves that Republican Sinn Féin candidates are electable - it can be done! - but that hard work on the ground is necessary over a prolonged period of time.
“Meanwhile the work of rebuilding the Republican Movement in the aftermath of the defections of recent years continues.”
