Roll of Remembrance

Throughout the years, there have been many republican activists who have given lifelong and dedicated service to the Republic but whose names do not enter into the Roll of Honour.

Among their number are IRA Volunteers, Sinn Féin members and republican activists whose undoubted contribution to this struggle may appear not to have received the recognition it merits.

Conscious of this fact, the National Commemoration Committee has decided to initiate a Roll of Remembrance commencing Easter 2002. It will honour all those republicans who were active at the time of their death.

The Roll of Remembrance is initiated in a spirit of inclusiveness and comradeship and to ensure that active republicans who have died are honoured in a fitting way.

It will complement the existing Roll of Honour, which in future will honour those members killed in action or killed as a result of enemy action.
