7 Days To Go To Bodenstown Independent Republicans - National Commemoration Committee !

With only 7 days left until this years Independent Republicans National Wolfe Tone Commemoration in Bodenstown, we urge those travelling and seeking transport, to link in with local area affilliated independent groups Independent Dublin Republicans Independent Republicans Armagh etc for bus transport arrangements.

This years event will be held on Sunday the 7th of June 2026, assembling in Sallins at 2pm, from there we will parade to Bodenstown Cemetery behind colour party and bands, where ex POW John Crawley will chair proceedings and we will hear from historian and author Dr Ruan O Donnell, followed by the main oration, to be delivered by Tyrone Independent Republican Brian Arthurs.

Pictured in this post is the defining banner of the (Irish) Republican Congress which was carried at Bodenstown in 1934 by members and Irish Republicans who were Protestant and mainly from the Shankil area of West Belfast.

They wholeheartadely despised loyalism and unionism and believed as Connolly did that real freedom and unity could only be achieved by establishing a socialist Republic free from imperialism and capitalism.

A stark contrast to those who purport to be patriots today while courting support of British and northern loyalists and unionists.

Deluded ?

The Republican Congress was formed in April 1934 following years of suppression by the Irish Free State under Cumann na nGaedheal, Fine Gael and the outright fascist Blueshirts.

Under the above pro - Treaty regimes, Republican events at Bodenstown were banned.

Bodenstown is a very special place for Irish Republicans.

A worker at Pat McDonnell Paints in Blanchardstown, North Dublin has been suspended for not removing an Easter Lily badge, following weeks of pressure and intimidation from management.

Workers should never be persecuted for remembering our Republican dead, especially in a month of major anniversaries that hold deep cultural and historical significance across Ireland.

This attempt to police such symbols, while simultaneously pushing through employer favoured conditions, speaks volumes about the company’s priorities: anti‑worker, anti‑solidarity, and anti‑Republican.

It has been fifteen years since NATO bombed Libya’s Great Artificial River – a vast aquifer megaproject built by Gaddafi to green the Sahara and parts of the Sahel by tapping into ancient underground fossil water.

The Great Artificial River was a network of 4,000 kilometres of underground pipelines, designed to extract fossil water from the Sahara and turn the desert into farmland. The water would be drawn from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System – the largest underground fossil water reserve in the world, containing pure water that had accumulated beneath the soil 40,000 years ago.

This project would have granted sovereignty not just to Libya, but to all of Africa. And that whole business of sovereignty simply doesn’t sit well with the Western empire. The empire prefers that your country imports food and resources from the West – better that your country stays as poor as church mice, so dependent that it has to go cap in hand to the IMF.

A declassified CIA file from 1987 already warned of the “danger” this aquifer project posed to imperialist interests, stating that it “had the potential to guarantee Libya’s water supply indefinitely and considerably reduce its dependence on food imports from the West.”

That is why, on 22 July 2011, NATO planes bombed the project’s sites and even its pipeline factory in the city of Brega – ensuring that the Sahara and northern Sahel stayed poor, underpopulated, and forever dependent on food imports from the West.

They tell you Africa is poor – but they don’t tell you who is keeping it poor, or who benefits from it staying that way. Gaddafi was a terrible example for the rest of Africa: what’s all this nonsense about having sovereignty and independence? Better to raze the country and drag it back to the Stone Age, so it depends on our loans and hands over all its resources in exchange… that’s how neocolonialism works in 2026.

Anti Imperialist Action Ireland condemns in the strongest possible terms the suspension of a worker from the Pat McDonnell Paints Shop in Blanchardstown, Dublin for wearing an Easter Lily.

AIA commends the Independent Workers Union for highlighting this situation and we add our voice to the demand for their immediate reinstatement.

The suspension makes a mockery of free state industrial rights legislation that states no one will be discriminated against for political beliefs.

The Easter Lily is a symbol worn to honour Ireland’s Patriot Dead and to demonstrate support for Ireland’s ongoing fight for National Liberation and the suspension of a worker for wearing one is a national outrage.

We call on all Republicans to contact Pat McDonnell paints and register your outrage at their anti Republican and anti worker policy.

They can be contacted on:

An injury to one is the concern of all!
