Saoirse picket at Belfast GPO
The campaign for the release of republican prisoners took another
step forward this week when Saoirse staged an impressive picket
outside the Belfast GPO on Wedneday 10 September.
Saoirse Belfast Chair Phil McCullough said he was delighted with
the turnout and Saoirse presence in the city centre.
``The reason for a city centre protest is to contradict the air of
normality which the British Government have tried to portray
since the cessation. There is no normality, and our effort here
portrays that fact. While we have republican prisoners we have no
normality.''
McCullough confirmed the importance of the Saoirse campaign for
nationalists. ```Getting out of the ghettoes' is important to
emphasise that there is still difficulties in the north of
Ireland.''
