Tain Bo,

'the comradeship and bond forged in the prison struggle' is the most we can cherish. There were few victories at the end of it all, just good people, shafted and lied to.

Another Spartan Down
A fitting homage Anthony one I am sure all who suffered a prison term could identify with and respect the unbreakable will of those who endured the Blanket Protest and the hell years of the Hunger Strikes.
The Spartan analogy is appropriate very moving in a poetic sense as perhaps the Hunger Strike was the “Last Stand” “Ten were carried home on their shields.”
Much to the disappointment of the Immortals the power of the screws could not break the will of those who would not concede. I assume Thatcher like King Xerxes suffered with their shame and embarrassment how the mighty could not crush the meek.

The narrative is well penned a very emotional journey both tragic and inspirational the one thing that stands alone in my mind is you captured the essence of republicanism.
As for aging memories we all have that problem though clearly the one thing you have not forgot is the comradeship and bond forged in the prison struggle.

Marty, will you accept my sincere apologies.
I just thought seing this blog was dedicated to Seando you might have gotten mixed up.
All that green bread can do funny things to you.
Albert maintains you can eat anything as long as you cut the bad bits of.
Seriously, he never pays attention to the sell by or be extremely sick by dates.
Marty, you and I know what happened to him.

Marty, think you are on the wrong page!

You seem to be all over the place since Marie left.

Think Seando would understand though.

I apoligise the author of that quote should have read Ernie O Malley, must be the thoughts of what sort of sprog the bearded one and Babs would produce

Heart goes out regards and respect.

Mackers, that was lovely and truly fitting. I knew Seando all my life. Seando, to me he was a person who just ploughed on.

Seando was just a very ordinary and unpretentious person.
He ploughed on because he believed one hundred percent in the Sinn Fein.

I believe our lives were so much richer for having known him.

Heartbreaking and whats more sickening is that w###ers like O Muilleoir are living of such misery endured,Walter Mackins saying is true,its easy to live on another mans wounds
