An address by regular contributor Sean Doyle at the graveside of Seamus Costello. Sean, a former comrade and confidant of Seamus Costello, was invited to speak by the IRSP at a commemoration for the party’s late leader on Sunday, 7 October 2012. Photos are from the commemoration. This completes the trilogy of tributes to a great visionary and republican socialist in the mould of the Connolly, Mellows, Tone and Lalor.

Comrades pay tribute
Comrades it is always a great honour and privilege to speak about Seamus Costello; however I must concede to my inadequacy to encapsulate his life, and his comprehensive vision of a 32 county socialist republic.

The sometimes lonely road of a visionary

Guest writer Sean Doyle with a piece on Seamus Costello. The author belongs to the Seamus Costello Memorial Committee. It is a transcript of a speech the author gave at the unveiling of a plaque to commemorate republican socialist Seamus Costello who was gunned down while he sat in his car in Dublin in 1977.


As we gather here in this sombre place, where the unthinkable happened and the young revolutionary Seamus Costello was murdered by a reformist assailant under orders, I think it’s appropriate to read this poem by a comrade who shared the internment camp on the Curragh. This poem is his tribute.
