THE RIC 'DEVIL YOU KNOW...'.

'LETTERS OF ASSURANCE' AND ALL THAT...!



On Wednesday, 13th December 2023, we'll be cominatya' with a 17-piece post on Irish history and politics, mentioning various occurrences which took place in Ireland - North, South, East and West - and abroad, all connected to our on-going struggle and campaign for full independence.

The happenings that we'll be covering include putting a bit of meat on the bones of a meeting held here, in the early 1920's, of the Catholic Church hierarchy, called specifically to discuss their 'direction' on the 1921 'Treaty of Surrender', and how that agreement between that hierarchy was broken by them the very next day...

We'll also be looking at the 'generosity' (!) of a certain British Prime Minister to one of the top men in the Sinn Féin organisation, and referencing the 'letter of assurance' he sent to the 'Irish rebel'...

...and then there's another 'letter of assurance' which one of Westminster's top men in Stormont sent to a top British political figure and, practically in the same breath, reneged on in public!

An IRA 'Dump Arms!' order was issued by the leadership, the reasons for it and a statement of what will happen next.

This RIC boss was wary of following orders from Westminster to recruit certain groups of people into 'his force' and was removed from his position, to be replaced by an even bigger bigot. 'The Devil You Know' and all that...!

As stated, we will have 17 articles, like the above, ready for posting on Wednesday, 13th December 2023.

Give us a shout then - if we disappoint you, sure ya always have Santa's visit to look forward to!

Thanks for the visit, and for reading ; see ye on the 13th!

Sharon and the team.
