On the twelfth of October, 1920, an IRA unit were preparing
explosives in an old unoccupied house located at St. Kearns, Saltmills in South
Wexford. Five men were killed when the
explosives detonated prematurely. They
were survived by nine comrades.
Every year local Sinn Féin mark this occasion, remembering
the past and honouring those who gave all for the struggle while also looking
to the future. What would those men and
women of the 1916-1923 period have thought of political parties that support
mass austerity against struggling families, the paying out of unsecured
bondholders while hospital operating theatres are closed and the handing over
of our economic sovereignty to the Troika without even a fight?
The struggle continues....
