One thing we’ve been attempting to do in recent times is get more usage out of the Come Here To Me Facebook page. JayCarax in particular has tried to post interesting third-party links and stories with a Dublin focus, and we’ve posted tidbits there that may not be suitable material for a full post on the blog on their own.
There’s interesting engagement with the page from others too, and people have been very generous with links and images. This fantastic image was left on the Facebook page today by Garry O’Neill, author of Where Were You?. It’s an absolutely incredible image from Wally Cassidy, all the more powerful in black and white. Does anyone know the context of the image?
Thanks Garry. it was a march for the release of Dessie Ellis November ’90, think he was on hunger strike at the time. lots of marches for him by Sinn Fein at that time, i took photos at all of them
