Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig ✍It is difficult to tell whether certain sections of society in the twenty six counties are naïve, disingenuous or deliberately intent on deceiving the public in relation to the nature and purpose of the Orange Order.


 Patrick Costello TD, a Green Party member of the Good Friday Agreement Oireachtas Committee, has called on the government to legislate for the 12th of July to become a public holiday in the Free State. While here in Dún na nGall, the Orange parade is welcomed uncritically, apparently because it proceeds peacefully rather than due to any amending of its toxic core ideology. 

The Orange Order may claim to be a defender of the Reformation, interested only in protecting religious freedom. In reality the evidence points towards something entirely different. Something that is deeply intolerant, profoundly offensive and at base, advocates Protestant supremacy. 

Think for a start of the proliferation of bonfires festooned with photographs of political parties and politicians, Irish tricolour flags and other sectarian bric-a-brac. Reflect then on the repertoire of nasty and offensive music and songs. The most recent addition to the collection being a scurrilous song sneering at the murder of a young Catholic woman on her honeymoon. Consider finally the renewed attempt to march down the Garvaghy Road in Portadown. In a town that is predominantly Unionist, demanding to parade through the only nationalist street in the borough sends an ominous message to the residents of the beleaguered area. A message that reeks of a desire to reassert supremacy and domination. 

No, the Orange Order is not at heart a benevolent institution, notwithstanding the fact that many of its members are decent, hard-working and inoffensive. The fact that the Order tolerates, facilitates and accommodates the objectionable and obnoxious behaviour and beliefs of many within its ranks renders it as an institution, a pariah. Refusing to identify this reality or to pretend that the Orange Order is merely a fun loving and benevolent institution risks turning a blind eye or worse, to tolerate something profoundly undemocratic. Doing so would create a benchmark for reactionaries that could only endanger our entire society. 

Let’s call a spade a spade and spare us all from such a bleak scenario.

Don't Call A Spade A Shovel

Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig ✍ Michael D Higgins should be thanked for highlighting the dangerous undermining of Irish neutrality currently being facilitated by the coalition government. 


Instead of recognising Higgins’ valuable and timely interjection, a cynical campaign has been whipped up to distract attention from his crucial contribution to an issue of enormous importance to every person in Ireland. Why this issue matters so much is quite straightforward. 

By remaining neutral and rejecting involvement or alignment with any and every military block, we avoid inviting the devastating consequences of contemporary warfare. The alternative, joining in military pacts with other countries, offers no protection. On the contrary, it would simply make us a target. Consider for a moment what Michael D said. ‘Ireland is playing with fire during a dangerous period of drift in foreign policy - and should avoid burying itself in other people's agendas’. It is possible to disagree with this assessment.

In a recent interview with the journal.ie Brig Gen Ger Buckley, who manages both the Irish state’s military engagement with the European Union and NATO is quoted saying,:

… I lead the military element of our office out in Nato, which is a very small office. I see partnership for us as giving us opportunities and benefits’. 

The Journal further reported that Buckley also interacts with NATO as Ireland has been a partner nation of the alliance for a number of years. This makes it abundantly clear that Michael D has every reason to be concerned. 

Let us be clear, there can be no ambivalence about what constitutes neutrality. There is no halfway house. No partial neutrality. No picking or choosing sides. We are either neutral or we are not and Brig Gen Buckley demonstrates we are certainly ‘playing with fire during a dangerous period of drift’. Sane and sensible voices are being raised calling for a return to a position of unambiguous Irish neutrality including having neutrality inserted definitively in the constitution. 

For the sake of everyone living on this island, this is a campaign that we must endorse and engage with.

President Higgins And Irish Neutrality

Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig ✍ Irish speakers and those native speakers in wider Gaeltacht community will see right through this cynical PR stunt on behalf of the Royal establishment to use the Irish language to advance its nefarious imperial agenda. 


We are wise to the fact that British imperialism sought to systemically obliterate spoken Irish on the island as part of their brutal colonial agenda which necessitated the demise of our ancient language and culture in order to facilitate their political, economic, social and cultural subjugation of Ireland. 

This brutal history cannot be rewritten or concealed by the patronising weasel ‘cupla focal’ from this indefensible relic of feudalism, whose merciless empire caused and causes persistent destruction across the world. 

This disgracefully lavish ‘coronation’ will cost the taxpayer millions of pounds and act as a clever ruse to direct people’s attention away from the real crisis in capitalism which is preventing working class communities from heating their homes and putting food on the table.

In the context of the most recent savage economic onslaught against the poor in the form of vicious Tory attacks on public services and social welfare as well as the current rollback on fundamental human rights, it’s unlikely that there is has ever been worse time to welcome such a repulsive Royal coronation of this kind. 

The Irish language was also used cynically during a Royal Visit to Ireland by a British Queen back in 1849. However, the words ‘Céad Míle Fáilte’ couldn’t conceal the fact that Ireland had been brought to its knees by one of the most brutal empires on the history of the European continent. 

The Great Hunger, which was facilitated, aided and abetted by the ruthless colonial regimes in Ireland, had claimed the lives of a million and half Gaels and saw nearly 2 and half million more emigrate in poverty and destitution. The Ireland of the 1880’s was a place in the throes of a horrific population shift unparalleled in European history. The Irish language was on its last legs, as a demoralised people had been brainwashed through hundreds of years of British colonisation to blame their hardship on their own barbarism and backwardness.

Contempory activists in Gaeltacht communities like my own are still dealing with the legacy of this cruel onslaught as the Language is still starved of crucial resources by the neo-colonial Free State government. 

The Irish language revival movement, embodied by Conradh na Gaeilge who were formed back in 1893, was the first step in a process of decolonisation; claiming back what was being lost, encouraging people to organise again and stand up on their own two feet, rebuilding the minds and bodies of a battered people. 

People followed because they knew they weren’t barbarians turned loyal British subjects. People followed because they hoped to revive their own native culture and build a sense of identity and hope. 

By 1900, Conradh na Gaeilge had become the fastest growing social movement in Western Europe with 800,000 members. This cultural movement for decolonisation inspired the movement for Irish independence from British Rule. It inspired The Rising in 1916 and was an engine upon which the revolutionary movement depended. 

This legacy of resistance is what progressives should be celebrating rather than praising the cynical use of the Irish language in this obscene royal coronation. All of these cruelties of Imperialism, continue, especially for its many victims who have yet to receive the justice, truth and recognition to which they are entitled. 

Lives, communities and cultures were destroyed under the dominance of this monarchy and it continues unabated. There was no transitional period when the horrors were recognised, with appropriate compensation, reparations or apologies. Slavery and colonialism have merely become neo-colonialism, neo-liberalism and neo-liberal globalisation. 

All of these rapid forces are destroying our planet Republicans, socialists, activists and progressives of all kinds must stand together against every aspect of this coronation, including the cynical use of the Irish language in underhand attempt to defy the facts of history. 

Contrary to the propaganda in the mainstream media, the use of Irish by a newly crowned British King does not bring history to an end and close the chapters of shame on British imperialism. History hasn’t ended. The newly unelected hereditary emperor’s use of Irish in fact a disparaging ploy by our native political elites to garner legitimacy for their selfish politico-economic agenda by using our native tongue to provide a cloak of integrity to their nefarious imperial aims. 

Language activists recognise that An Ghaeilge is still endangered because of the power processes of cultural colonisation in Ireland and this obscene coronisation shouldn’t deflect us from the ongoing project of decolonisation which requires a complete break from British Imperialism and is feudalistic monarchy. 

As Gaels, we must retain our integrity and independence rather than become willing pawns in a political agenda to rewrite our history, conceal current economic hardship and celebrate the very empire that continues to subjugate.

Hereditary Emperor

Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig ✒ Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig, ✒ Gaeltacht, Thír Chonaill has lodged a complainant with the Clerk of Leinster House in relation to the emblem with that institution by the National Party.

Clr Mac Giolla Easbuig charged that the National Party emblem is based on an emblem used by the South African National Party founded in 1914 and only disbanded in 1997.

Clr Mac Giolla Easbuig stated:

It’s clear that the Irish National Party have looked to base their logo on that of the party that implemented the policy of apartheid in South Africa for decades. This policy which saw a white minority maintaining political and economic control of the country through a system of economic, social and political segregation of races.

Clr Mac Giolla Easbuig continued:

The Clerk of Leinster House acts as the Registrar of Political Parties under Section 11 of the Electoral (Amendment) Act, 2001. This clearly states that if an emblem is, ‘is obscene or offensive’ it is deemed to be illegal. The similarity between the logos of the South African National Party and the Irish National Party is deliberate. I believe that the National Party logo is then clearly offensive. We would not tolerate a party using the swastika, confederate flags or Italian fasces, so why is the logo of apartheid acceptable.

Clr Mac Giolla Easbuig has launched an online petition to try mobilize support against the emblem being accepted by Leinster House. All those that want to see the emblem banned can sign up to the campaign.

Ban National Party’s Symbol Of Hate

Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig ✒ It is regrettable that better use is not being made of the vast Guinness estate in Dún Lúiche, Co Donegal. 

A huge dwelling-house surrounded by extensive out-buildings situated on thousands of acres of land and all owned by one family who rarely visit.
 
Properly utilised and developed this property has endless possibilities for promoting the local economy on one hand while providing a national asset on the other.
 
With a planned cultivation of the gardens and woodlands the estate would prove a wonderful tourist attraction providing much-needed employment locally.

Moreover, since this estate is in the heart of the Donegal gaeltacht it would open a door to a project dear to my own heart and that of many others … an Irish language campus specialising in teaching the native tongue to communities unfamiliar with the ancient culture.
 
Put simply, this is an issue of national interest and not one that should not be confined to Dún Lúiche or even Co Donegal.

Under such circumstances, I would invite the Guinness family to engage with the state in an effort to agree a strategy for the best possible use of this asset. A strategy that would be to the mutual benefit of all living on this island.

Guinness Family Need To Engage

Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig ✒ It used to be said that if you vote Labour you get a Blueshirt government. Well, now you can add Sinn Fein to the list. 

With its abandonment of the principle that there is no room in a democratic society for a non jury court system, the party is subscribing to the very same authoritarian outlook epitomised by Fine Gael and indeed by its coalition partner Fianna Fail. 

The oft repeated and disingenuous claim that abolishing the human right to trial by a jury of one’s peers is necessary to prevent intimidation of jurors is frankly a fabrication. It is a misleading fiction because there are many ways to protect against intimidation of jurors. Actually, a Sinn Fein spokesperson virtually admitted this during the ard-fheis debate while then calling for a vote to endorse the non-jury Special Criminal Court system. 

The real reason for introducing non-jury trials is not to protect jurors but, as in the Six Counties, to guarantee a conviction sought by the state, in reality the deep state. Nor can Sinn Fein hide behind its ‘get into jail clause’ that this measure will only be used in exceptional circumstances. The Irish people have listened to this rationale for every Coercion Act that has been introduced over the centuries. Who by the way, will decide on what are exceptional ‘circumstances’? Will it be a call by Mary Lou and Gerry Kelly, or the Chief Constable sorry Garda Commissioner or a committee selected from the golfing fraternity of the Oireachtas Golf Society meeting in Clifden, County Galway? 

Well, whatever, we have been here before and can recognise a U-turn when we see one. The point is, vote Sinn Fein if you want Blueshirt style government just don’t be fooled into thinking you’re voting for change.

Blueshirt Style Government Is Not Change

Clr Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig ➨ This was my emergency motion for today’s Donegal Council Council meeting in Leitir Ceanainn.

I would like to thank all those that signed this emergency motion so it could be heard and I would also note that FF or FG didn’t not sign my motion.

Unfortunately this motion wasn’t heard for the meeting was adjourned to another date. 

Emergency Motion

Donegal County Council notes with concern the ongoing protests by Republican prisoners in Portlaoise, Maghaberry and Hydebank prisons. We acknowledge the distress being caused to the families of prisoners currently on hunger strike in the 6 and 26 counties and because of the failure of the Northern Ireland Office and prison authorities to provide regular updates on the prisoners’ ongoing welfare and conditions. Donegal County Council shall write to the NIO – calling on the Prison Service to release daily updates on the prisoners’ status/conditions.

Donegal County Council has concerns that the facility (Foyle House) and procedures currently being used at Maghaberry Prison, to house prisoners who are being isolated while being quarantined as a Covid precaution, is not fit for purpose and poses a risk to the physical and mental health and welfare of prisoners.

Donegal County Council call on the administration in the 6 counties to do all in its power to resolve these issues and bring about an end to the current Hunger Strike.

Support The Hunger Strikers

Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig slams the Dublin government for its intention to honour those who nakedly oppressed Irish citizens on behalf of the British state. 

To commemorate a police force with an intolerable record of barbarism is something that could only happen in an Irish state governed by Fine Gael sitting with its coalition allies and propped up by a hapless Fianna Fail. The Free State government has stated its intention to commemorate the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Dublin Metropolitan Police at a ceremony in Dublin Castle to be addressed by Charlie Flanagan and Garda Commissioner, the former RUC ACC, Drew Harris.

Speaking after attending a previous ceremony for RIC members killed during the Black and Tan war, Flanagan said that they were, ‘… murdered in the line of duty…….. they were maintaining the rule of law….’.

No lie, those are the words he used, ‘… murdered in the line of duty … while maintaining the rule of law….’.

Charlie Flanagan and his party undoubtedly want to bury the vile history of the RIC. Well, let’s remind him and his colleagues in the Fine Gael led coalition of the history of the force they plan to commemorate.

This was the force that implemented what Flanagan sees as upholding ‘the rule of law while doing their duty’ by overseeing the export of food from Ireland during the Great Hunger when over a million died of starvation.

This was the force that supervised the eviction of thousands of impoverished people from their humble homes. Think only of one incident among many, of that here in Donegal in Derryveagh. Between April 11th and 13th 1861, a “crowbar brigade," helped by RIC and British soldiers, evicted over 250 people, most of whom became destitute on the roads or inside the workhouse.

This was the police force that gained its title ‘Royal’ for making war on the Fenians and the same forces that brutalised and murdered workers in Dublin during the 1913 lockout. It was also the force that identified those to be executed after the Easter Rising. And this was the force that recruited the murderous Black and Tans and Auxiliaries to assist it in its bloody war against the democratically elected Dáil Éireann.

That this obscene event is taking place is not only an affront to generations of patriots who struggled to end centuries of imperial tyranny but it seeks to question the very legitimacy of our battle for independence and sovereignty.

This is a shameful exercise organised by a shameless government attempting to rewrite history in order to exculpate and thereafter, rehabilitate the empire that oppressed generation of Irish people. The question must be why would they do so? Perhaps Charlie Flanagan and Fine Gael believes that by whitewashing the record of the RIC and the Black and Tans that they can do the same with atrocities carried out by their Cumann na nGael predecessors during the civil war.

Whatever their reason, it is totally unacceptable and the people of Ireland must let them know that it is totally unacceptable.

Black And Tans To Be Commemorated By Fine Gael And their Right Wing Independent In Government

Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig remembers Maurice Healy.

Maurice Healy
It’s hard to believe less than three weeks ago I was in Paris with Maurice Healy at an anti-fascist organized political event. I have many stories and over these last few days they have been going around in my head.

Our deep discussions on many topics like socialism, sectarianism, armed struggle, community engagement, political representation, abortion, the rise of fascism across Ireland and Europe, gay rights, engaging the loyalist community, the Catholic Church, political prisoners, United Ireland, trade unionism and the importance of international solidarity; so many late nights and long walks.

I remember I was asked a number of years ago to deliver a speech at the anti internment march in Belfast which is usually blocked off by the local British imperialist militia PSNI.

We put a speech together with the help of Tommy on the night before the march. I stayed in Derry that night with Cllr Gary Donnelly. Maurice and Gary decided in their wisdom that I should practice the speech in front of both of them while I stood on top of a stool in Gary’s kitchen. I spent, I would imagine, 3 hours standing on that stool practising my speech to the very early hours😩.

Maurice talked a lot about the importance of engaging with the working class loyalist community and how when we achieved a united Ireland this would help create a better Ireland for all of us.

I just can’t believe that Maurice is now gone, a man that lived his Republicanism through his daily life by his actions and respect for all.

Maurice my friend and comrade you have taught me so much and I will always always always miss you💔.

Maurice Healy

Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig thinks Garda Commissioner has huge questions to answer over an extreme abuse of power. 

On Wednesday evening, RTE broadcast the excellent but very disturbing documentary No Stone Unturned. The programme examined circumstances surrounding the 1994 massacre of 6 men in a pub in Loughinisland Co Down.

Only the wilfully blind and naïve could fail to draw the very clear message that there was a sinister relationship at a senior level between agents of the British state and loyalist paramilitaries, during the years of the Northern conflict. While the documentary focused on the killings in the Heights Bar, Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney also went to some length to place the event in a wider context.

The killers were part of an extensive conspiracy that reached high into the British state apparatus. Not only were senior police officers guilty of what can only be described as criminal neglect in failing or indeed refusing to apprehend the gunmen but British intelligence facilitated the arming of loyalist death squads. In one instance, a ship loaded with sophisticated weaponry was allowed to evade detection. While on another occasion, when on opportunity was presented to locate a major arms dump in Glenanne, the RUC inexplicably afforded those holding the weapons time to clear the cache.

It is this aspect of the story, the virtual arming of loyalist paramilitaries by the state, that places a large question over a suggestion offered by way of explanation for inactivity by the state apparatus. Several commentators have opined that RUC and MI5 were overprotective of informers and were reluctant to expose valuable sources of information that could potentially save a greater number of lives.

This theory collapses when examined in light of their turning a blind eye to the importation of a massive shipment of lethal and sophisticated arms. The only logical explanation for allowing this to happen was that the British state was outsourcing one aspect of its counterinsurgency terror strategy through the use of loyalist paramilitaries.

Loyalist paramilitaries, based around a farm in Glenanne, County Armagh and from where a sectarian murder campaign was unleashed across the rural 6-Counties.

Another question.

In 2010, then PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Drew Harris wrote a letter to the legal representatives of UVF victims telling them that they would not get an investigation into the wider questions raised by the activities of the Glenanne gang. Reviewing the Harris decision in Belfast’s High Court, Mr Justice Treacey gave a devastating assessment, accusing Drew Harris of an “extreme” abuse of power in closing down this exercise in analysing collusion.

Mr Harris is now Commissioner of An Garda Síochána. It’s time that the Dublin Government do the right thing by the victims of the Glenanne gang and sack Drew Harris.

Drew Harris - Extreme Abuse Of Power

Micheál Mac Giolla Easbuig, lashes the PSNI Chief Constable, Simon Byrne, over his threat to place the children of republicans in care. 
The outrageous threat issued recently by British Chief Constable of the occupied 6 Countries Simon Byrne, to use children as hostages, has to be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

In simple language, it is a fundamental denial of basic parental human rights to take children into state custody in order to serve a political end. 

The state already has adequate measures in place to protect children if they are at risk but this is not what Simon Byrne was intending.

Using children as the Chief Constable suggests has sinister and chilling echoes of the fascist regimes of Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet and is something that cannot be countenanced in any civilised society.

Why should Chief Constable Byrne decide to take this step now? It is something that never happened during the decades of intense conflict that raged in the North from 1969 until the end of the last century.

If he truly believes in what he said, he is unsuitable for office. If he feels the need to appear macho among the North’s armed police-force, he is unsuitable for office. If he is a blundering incompetent unaware of history, he is unsuitable for office.

There has been a long history of bad policing in the Six-Counties and it certainly does not appear likely that the latest Chief Constable is going to make any improvement to this sorry legacy.

It begs the question, indeed, what type of political entity would choose a police chief who makes this type of threat?

Unsuitable For Office


Micheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig sees problems with Donegal County Council’s LIS (Local Improvement Scheme).

The operation of Donegal County Council’s LIS (Local Improvement Scheme) continues to raise important questions about how local government is organised. As with so much in the Council, central government is not releasing enough funds for the Council to operate the scheme properly.

It is estimated that it would take nearly 30 years to deal with all the applications under the LIS scheme. Simply put, there is supposed to be a fund for the upgrading of roads that do not belong to the Council but, because successive governments have refused to properly fund the scheme, this has meant that many non-county roads have deteriorated to a totally unacceptable level.

It was decided in the Glenties Municipal District that priority would be given to roads that were in a bad state of repair or if someone living on the road was ill.

However, it has come to the public’s attention that councillor Séamus Ó Domhnaill, the Chairman of the Donegal County Council, has had thousands of Euros spent upgrading his own road, even though I’m told that this newly built road wasn’t in a state of disrepair to a point that you could no longer drive on it, like many other roads that have applied for this funding. It has also been reported that other Councillors around the county, as well as councillors from the Glenties Municipal District, looked after their own family members first. It seems that you have more chance of having your road prioritised and getting work done on it if you are well acquainted or associated with a political party.

It has been brought up on the doors to me across Cloughaneely and other areas. It's clear the public has lost confidence in the way the system operates in the Council. Decisions on the allocation of funds should be made openly. The whole process needs to be more transparent. Doing behind closed doors meetings or workshops as they are known is not in the interests of the public. When a system is all about looking after the interests of your own political allies, that amounts to corruption and nothing more than a vote gathering exercise.

LIS Not Listening





Mícheál Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig is contesting upcoming council elections in Donegal.

 


Mícheál was born into a Republican family. Many members of his extended family spent time resisting British imperialism and also spent time in jail for their commitment to that cause. The best known examples of that are his aunts, Anne and Eileen Gillespie, who served ten years for explosives and conspiracy charges in England.

He himself is a Socialist Republican who has been politically active since a young child.

He moved to Dublin and got very involved in left wing politics in Dublin and worked with community and youth groups there, especially in the Ballymun area and the Inner City.

He moved back to Donegal and worked with Family Support and also with young people in the Lagan area and around Letterkenny.

He has been involved in work, with others, to save community creches, post offices, infrastructure, etc. in Donegal. He has also stood up for workers’ rights and supported strikes throughout the area. He was one of the founding members of Can’t Pay, Won’t Pay, helping to build it from a small gathering in the community hall in Anagaire to it being a successful campaign against the water tax.

His politics inevitably meant that he felt he had to stand for local elections and he was elected to Donegal County Council in 2014. In the Council, he hasn’t been shy in his support for political prisoners, human rights and the trade union movement. He has worked to change policy, especially on housing within the Council and has also proposed motions to Council in support of Palestine. He has been a strong advocate for the Irish language and has consistently spoken Irish as his main means of communicating in Council chambers and at meetings and has forced the Council’s hand to introduce changes to procedure in relation to the Irish language. He has had very little support from other Irish speakers on this issue, but has continued his campaign unabated for the five years that he has been a Councillor.

Fundamental to his activity in the Council and in the community in general is the belief that his role is to help organise people to fight back against their oppressors on their own terms. No party can do that for the people. Only the people themselves are capable of bringing fundamental change about.
