As Horse says, stay away from issues of Irish National History of which you show complete ignorance.  Thankfully Tipperary as a County has produced many high-calibre Republicans over the years like Seán Treacy, Dan Breen & Seán Hogan in addition sadly to lamentable ham-sandwiches like Michael Lowry & TippMongo.    <span style="line-height: 1.4;">http://www.historyjournal.ie/the-war-of-independence/52-war-of-independance-topics/79-irish-republicanism-and-the-hunger-strike.html</span>

sean hogan, dan breen, sean treacy and dinny lacy were all republicans in the tipperary area during the war of independence but I never recalled them going on hunger strike?

So shooting Brits is grand, protesting at prison conditions is moody?

So no Irish replubicanswent on hunger strike before partition?

this is the question I am trying to ask from the contributers of ybig all night.

I ask a question tonight that may relate to republician ideology and the aggressive responses that it got did not surprise me.

I am *not* a republican by any stretch but to call IRA prisoners "criminals" displays either a lack of even basic knowledge or a deliberate desire to provoke.

It was a well known tactic and I can't help but think your description of the hunger strikers as criminals rather than prisoners or another appellation was deliberate. You can correct me if your innocence was genuine but I have a feeling it was not.

Sweet merciful f**k! I really hope you are sterile
