No we must not forget them but we must stop allowing them to be glorified. By so doing we hope to undo much of the damage done by these events
and their subsequent and recent glorification.
We hope to break the cycle of violence created by the terrorism. All terrorist groups use the death of their members as a method of recruiting more. The more
romantic, controversial and incredible the deaths the more value to the terrorist. Often those killed or taking their own lives were as in
the case of the Hunger Strikers, were mere cannon fodder. useful fools either impressionable or inept and of no value in an of themselves to the organisation.
It was only in death that they became more than they could in life. The terrorist propagandists and apologists then create a new identity for such unfortunates, one where they were the purest, best and bravest. their deeds were the boldest and their sacrifice the most exemplary. In this Glorification men like Bobby Sands are not drawn as criminals, arsonists and terrorists but rather poets and freedom fighters, ideologues who lived and breathed Republicanism
Fianna Fail will allow the Irish People, to me milked like Milch Cows, by the CIF through high house prices, rents, and land prices, at the expense of competitiveness,and quality of life. FF+CIF=1

Does this bilge also apply to Vol Martin Doherty, who saved 400 lives by taking on 4 pro-British, armed, would-be mass murderers, altho unarmed himself? His 50th birthday was 5 days ago.

Indeed. I'd say less han 1% of the population could name a second one after Bobby Sands.
They did however play a major role in the history of "The Troubles". By proving that more power could come from the ballot box than from the amalite, they began SF/IRA's ongoing transition to a democratic party.
The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.

I remember them but I certainly don't honour them
