Jump To Comment: 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1At a recent 30th Hunger Strike anniversary meeting in Cork one of the speakers openly threatened the life of Richard O'Rawe.
The well known Shinner in reply to a question about Ricky's claims that the leadership allowed six strikers to die for political
advantage completely lost the plot and said.
"Richard O'Rawe is taking his life in his own hands, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was found dead some night.''
When he realised that The audience were totally stunned at this comment, he qualified his remark by saying,
"he wouldn't be surprised if someone came up behind Ricky and hit him with a branch or a iron bar on the back of the head."
The speakers were Sile Darragh, Seanna Walsh, and Leo Greene.
If yiz are going to write doggerel, make it scan and make it good. The examples above are shite. People have been kneecapped for less (oh, actually, they have. Whoops).

Lyrics
Céad míle fáilte - To the IMF
We hope we meet you on the streets - To fight you to the death.
And we know how you got here - Back room deal and open arms
As you try to suck the life from us - With your structural reforms
They just lit a fuse - It's time for us to choose
You must think we're fucking stupid - Feed our fears with blocks of cheese
It'll take more than dairy products - To keep us on our knees
Don’t talk to us about violence - You hypocritical scum
Just look at all our hospitals - And the homeless on the run
Destitution politics - Death by credit card
By you can't kill the love we have - For justice in our heart
Cos they just lit a fuse - It's time for us to choose
We'll walk as we talk to create – And tear the bullshit down
We gonna build democracy and we'll do it town by town
And it ain't just for the Irish, English, Scottish or the Welsh
Injustice has no border – Our lives before their wealth
Céad míle fáilte - To the IMF
We hope we meet you on the streets - To fight you to the death.
And we know how you got here - Back room deal and open arms
As you try to suck the life from us - With your structural reforms
Gates of Leinster House breached by Sinn Fein protestors - article, vids, photos from politico.ie
http://politico.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=ar...d=877
... The protest which began on Kildare Street and continued to the gates on Merrion Row. In attendance was Sinn Fein party member Mary Lou McDonald. Speaking to Politico she said: "We want to make it very clear to the political establishment that they cannot inflict this vicious budget on the people, they cannot bring in the IMF and they cannot bring about this loss of control on our affairs without going to the people."
Asked if she welcomed Minister John Gormley's call for an election in January, Miss McDonald said: "It is very late in the day to be honest. We want them to go to the people now. We want and election and we want it now. There is no need for a delay."
"We want them to publish the 4 year budget plan now. People have to have their say on how we get out of this. The fact that Irish citizens are being asked to pay for this bailout is unacceptable. Those who took a gamble need to face up to it now," she said.
Ógra activist Injured by State car at IMF protest
http://www.osf.ie/home/component/content/article/4-gene...otest
... Eventually, Government ministers were driven to the gates when Sinn Féin and Ógra activists staged a peaceful sit-down protest. A number Gardaí employed heavy handed tactics in an effort to move the protestors, while another Garda motioned for the state cars to continue on their path, with one state car, reportedly that of a Senior Minister running over the leg of a young Ógra Shinn Féin activist. The top of the range state car moved away at high speed down a laneway. An ambulance quickly arrived and the Ógra member was brought to hospital.

Get on the Streets against IMF!! Ógra Sinn Fein poster
Here's a song, written 2 minutes after Cowen's press briefing annnouncing the application for the 'loan' from the EU and IMF...
IRELAND NEEDS THE IMF
LIKE ANNE FRANK NEEDED A DRUM KIT
IRELAND NEEDS THE IMF
LIKE GHANDI NEEDED A HAIRCUT
IRELAND NEEDS THE IMF
LIKE THE CHILDREN NEED THE VATICAN
COWEN STOOD THERE
BEFORE THE WORLDS PRESS
DID HIS LEVEL BEST
TO DUELY IMPRESS
HIS SUIT AND HIS TIE
TO SOFTEN THE LIES
BUT HIS FIDGETING HANDS
AS HE SOLD OFF OUR LAND
TOLD US THE TRUTH
CORPORATE TAX
12 PER CENT STAYS INTACT
SOLIDARITY
IS EVERYTHING NOW
LENIHAN TOO
HAD HIS WORDS TO CHOSE
100 BILLION, AND NO MORE (yeah, right!)
AS HE SOLD OFF OUR LAND
OUR CHILDRENS LAND
WHAT WE GIVE TO THE BANKS
THEY PLY AS A TRADE
MAKING MONEY OUT OF MONEY
IN DEVIOUS WAYS
AND WHEN IT GOES WRONG
THEY SING US THIS SONG
AND WE GET TO PAY FOR THE PAPER.
