Letter From Joe Lynch (RSF)
ORANGE CARD STILL IN PLAY IN SIX COUNTIES
Playing the Orange card seems to be the latest political game in the Six Counties with both Provisional Sinn Fein and the UK
Conservative party engaging the sectarian division.
It is political hypocrisy for the Provisional leadership of Adams and McGuinness to now use the spectre of the Orange card because their sell out and surrender has cemented the role of Loyalism in the Six Counties.
The question that must be asked is why Adams is surprised at the playing of the Orange card? To use one of his well known phrases: They haven’t gone away you know!
An even more drastic Orange move is now on the cards with the Unionist unity talks and the links to the UK Conservative party in time for the next general election. Many people tend to forget that the official name is the Conservative and Unionist party and this move is simply designed to re-inforce the position of those loyal to the Union.
The sell out and surrender of the Adams and McGuinness led Provisional Movement continues to play a central role in the normalisation of British rule throughout the island of Ireland.
Therefore playing the Orange card is simply yet another way for the British to exercise their control of the Six Counties and it should come as no surprise to the discredited Provisional Movement.
Yours etc
Joe Lynch,
Republican Sinn Fein

Sex And Money - Des Long (RSF)
BRITISH MONEY CREATES GREED CULTURE
The attempts by both the British Government and the Dublin
Administration to secure a deal on devolving policing powers
in the face of the money and sex scandals in the Six Counties
smacks of desperation, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Fein
said today.
Des Long from Corbally in Limerick, a member of the Ard
Comhairle said that the ordinary decent people of Ireland
are shocked and disgusted by the activities of politicians
in the Six Counties.
The behaviour of leading figures in both the DUP and in
Provisional Sinn Fein falls far below generally accepted standards for those in public life and in leadership positions.
The fact is the political rot and the core of politics in the Six Counties is caused by British money and politicians are being bought off with cash and jobs and that encourages greed and
financial corruption.
In their haste to involve Provisional Sinn Fein fully in administering British rule in the Six Counties, the British provided endless funds and continues to do so in the current climate where political hypocrisy and corruption has been exposed.
The behaviour of both the DUP and Provisional Sinn Fein is now exposed as self serving and in their own narrow interest and it smacks of hypocrisy.
Both parties have compromised all moral right to govern and their activities now exposed means they should not be trusted to act in the interests of ordinary decent people. But this is not about the ordinary people of Ireland who deserve better from their elected politicians – this so called peace process is aimed at normalizing British rule in Ireland. It is a process that must be exposed and opposed by all true republicans.

Statement From Joe Lynch (RSF)
RESIST MOVE TO DOWNGRADE MURDERED MAYORS
The call to hold a separate commemoration for the murdered
Mayors of Limerick apart from the Easter Sunday ceremonies
by Sinn Fein Councillor Maurice Quinlivan has been criticised by a spokeman for Republican Sinn Fein.
Joe Lynch from Beechgrove Avenue in Ballinacurra, the RSF chairman in the south side of Limerick said the proposal by the Councillor is yet another attempt to distance his party from their Republican past.
It is all very well for Provisionals like Councillor Quinlivan to engage in political revisionism with his party but when he now attempts to enlist City Hall in this process someone must cry halt,
he said.
What Maurice Quinlivan is now trying to do is to get City Hall do his dirty work and move the ceremonies for the two Mayors who were murdered by British forces away from the Easter time.
The Mayors, Clancy and O’Callaghan who were murdered by
British armed forces are remembered during the Easter Sunday ceremonies by all true Republicans.
The pretext that Maurice Quinlivan uses to move the event is that they may be remembered by other political parties. But this excuse is a mere charade to remove the men from the Republican roll of honour and align them with Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Provisionals.
It is important that this tactic does not work because it is all part of the current attempts by the political parties to normalise British rule throughout Ireland. We must not forget that the party of Cllr. Quinlivan has Crown Ministers as members – and these men serve the British Crown – the very same crown whose forces murdered the Mayors of Limerick.

HSE Scandal Des Long (RSF)
SCANDAL OF CHILDREN IN ADULT WARDS EXPOSED
The placing of young children in adult psychiatric units is one of the great unspoken scandals within the Health Service and finally it has been exposed in Limerick, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Fein said today.
Des Long from Corbally in Limerick a member of the RSF Ard Comhairle said that the latest report from the Mental Health Inspectors clearly states that the practice continues in the Mid West Regional Hosptial.
For a considerable time those with family experience of the psychiatric unit at the Mid Western Hospital have expressed their concern about the unit located there, he said.
Not only the level of care but the placing of young people in the adult environment gave rise for concern. Finally the latest report of the Inspectorate of Mental Health Services focuses on the issue in Limerick.
The inspectors found that a significant number of children had been admitted to the adult psychiatric unit at the Limerick Hospital despite long standing concerns that the practice was inappropriate and counter therapeutic for children.
For too long it has been a scandal that has been ignored and unspoken. But it cannot be allowed continue and go to go unchallenged like the clerical abuse issue.
Now is the time to ensure that adequate services are provided for these children and actions taken to ensure that they never again have to be placed in adult units.
Surely the measure of the maturity of a country is judged by the way it treats children. The 26 County Administration does not have a proud record in this regard but now steps can be taken to eliminate the scandal once and for all.
