Remembering the Past - 100 years ago

100 years ago the British regime executed six IRA Volunteers in Mountjoy Jail, Dublin. They were hanged on the morning of 14 March as tens of thousands of people, including their families, gathered outside the prison and as hundreds of thousands of workers staged a half-day general strike in protest.
The six men were tried by the British Army at Field General Courts Martial in the Council Chamber of Dublin’s City Hall. The City Hall had been seized by the British Army the previous December because the City Council had pledged allegiance to Dáil Éireann and the Irish Republic. Now in a callous and calculated act, the very chamber where the Council met was used to put on trial six soldiers of the Republic, their judges being officers of the Army they had fought against.

THE very public fall-out between Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon has elicited a myriad of different reactions, ranging from shock, dismay, surprise, glee (among the opposition parties) and even ridicule. But what it has not done at this point in time is to diminish support for the SNP. Quite the opposite in fact. It has served to remind us of the positive contributions of both leaders over the past 20 years and the excellent achievements of the SNP during that time. Most people I have spoken to have taken sides in this dispute, often with much enthusiasm but in some cases with very little understanding of the issues involved. Some see it as a battle of the Titans; David v Goliath. Big Ek in one corner, Mr SNP himself, who has brought a fringe party with only two MPs remaining after the 1979 debacle to within a whisker of obtaining independence. And in the other corner wee Nicky, who had achieved worldwide acclaim for the way she has dealt with the present pandemic in Scotland.
