Excellent program on TG4 yesterday evening about the incident when he met his death, leading to the largest funeral ever seen in Limerick (Yes, even bigger than officer Mc Cabe’s)

Bock the Robber Says:
“My mother knew him. She told me he was called Jack South”
If this was true, then your mother would know for starters that he called himself Sabhat not South.

SEAN SOUTH COMMEMORATION COMMITTEE
DERRY SPEAKER FOR SEAN SOUTH COMMEMORATION
The continuing and growing opposition of many true Republicans in the Six Counties to the Stormont Agreement will be the theme of the oration at the annual Sean South commemoration in Limerick on Sunday 6th January, a spokesman for the organising committee said today.
Des Long from Corbally, the chairman of the Sabhat Commemoration Committee, organisers of the event said the oration will be given by Richard Walsh from Derry in the occupied Six Counties.
He is in the forefront of the political opposition to the Agreement which has not only copper-fastened partition but tries to re-enforce British rule throughout Ireland, said Mr. Long
As spokesman for RSF Richard Walsh is fully aware of the attempts to tarnish all true Republicans who continue to uphold the national aspiration of a new and united Ireland.
The ideal that inspired Sean South is even more relevant today as attempts are made to administer British rule throughout all of Ireland.
We appeal to the people of Limerick to attend the Sean South Commemoration and hear the oration by Richard Walsh. We Assemble in Bedford Row at 1.45 pm for the march to the Republican Plot in Mount St. Lawrence cemetery

Pat:
How do you mean “if this was true”?
January 4th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Ill be there and to the person who said there isnt many republicans left, how wrong you are ireland is made up mostly of republican political parties
Fianna Fail: Republican { And they rule this country }
Provisional Sinn Fein: Republican { And they have both leading politicians both North and South }
Republican Sinn Fein: Republican and they are a strong supported political party i admit not like the others but the support is there.
SDLP: Republican and they have strong support in the North.
So obviously there is alot of Republicans still in Ireland.
And then there is the dissident republicans which the patriotic flame will never die { as the song says } and rightfully so.
Im Republican supporter and Voter
