Come Here To Me!

In 2001 Saoirse, the paper of Republican Sinn Fein, published a very interesting Special Branch report on the Seán Russell Memorial unveiling that took place in September 1951. It is said that a writer found it in the Archives during his own research into Russel.

The branch report lists in detail the attendees, their vehicles and their movements. The long list of IRA members and a separate list of “fellow travelers” should be of interest to students of history in the not so distant future.
