Today we remember a stalwart of Irish Republicanism and our former honorary Life Vice-President Joe O’Neill on the 13th anniversary of his passing.
A lifelong Republican and a man of principle who gave a lifetime of dedication to the All-Ireland Republic. He believed that as long as Ireland was partitioned and occupied by the British State there could be no lasting peace.
