"I speak to my people, and I speak in my people's name to the masters of my people. I say to my people that they are holy, that they are august, despite their chains, That they are greater than those that hold them, and stronger and purer, That they have but need of courage, and to call on the name of their God, God the unforgetting, the dear God that loves the peoples For whom He died naked, suffering shame. And I say to my people's masters: Beware, Beware of the thing that is coming, beware of the risen people, Who shall take what ye would not give. Did ye think to conquer the people, Or that Law is stronger than life and than men's desire to be free? We will try it out with you, ye that have harried and held, Ye that have bullied and bribed, tyrants, hypocrites, liars!" - Excerpt from "The Rebel" by Patrick Pearse.

PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF MY DEAR FRIEND AND COMRADE , JASON, SHOT IN THE BACK BY CROWN FORCES,, memorial page - THE REAL BELFAST FORUM ,
AUGUST 9TH 1977, AGED 16,
YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS,,
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU FOR I HAVE CARVED YOU IN THE PALM OF MY HAND,
It screamed aloud by Kerry lakes,
As it was knelt upon the ground,
And it died in great defiance,
As they coldly shot it down.(bobby sands)

When I think of Springfield Road joint RUC/Army station many bad memories spring to mind of serious human rights abuses that took place there over the past 30 years.

In November 1977 seventeen year old 'Kidso' Reilly was arrested and brought to Fort Monagh and then on to Springfield Road. He was questioned by Special Branch and pressure was applied to become a paid police informer. He was told he would be repeatedly arrested if he refused.
He immediately contacted the ALJ upon his release and a complaint made about the threat. He was to lose his young life on the 9th August 1983 when shot in the back by a British army bullet

Mise Éire:
Sine mé ná an Chailleach* Bhéarra

Mór mo ghlóir:
Mé a rug Cú Chulainn cróga.
Mór mo náir:
Mo chlann féin a dhíol a máthair.
Mór mo phian:
Bithnaimhde do mo shíorchiapadh.

Mór mo bhrón:
D'éag an dream inar chuireas dóchas.

Mise Éire:
Uaigní mé ná an Chailleach* Bhéarra.
