It was a complete waste of life. Basically it is a stupid form of protest if truth be told. A lot of innocent people lost their lives due to rioting after each striker died.

| The fact of the matter is that each hungerstriker chose to end their own lives sadly. Also that Dirty Protest was their own choice as well. They created the conditions they lived in but tried to tell the world it was part of the torture they were enduring if truth be told. |

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.

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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulsterisation" rel="nofollow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulsterisation Quote: "'Criminalisation' was meant to avoid any acknowledgement of political motivation and nature of the conflict and was partly motivated to change perceptions of the conflict from a colonial war to that of a campaign against criminal gangs." 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. -------------

No problem. It's probably best to call them prisoners hence forth though, rather than criminals. My knowledge of the area is relatively limited and I won't get into the substantive details of it because I don't know the answer to your original question but I just thought the use of the word criminals wasn't the best choice. -------------

I had a read up on the sh*t smearing last night. They smeared it on the walls because if they left it in a pile it would have stayed smellier for longer. Whilst if they smeared it on the wall, it would dry out and lose the smell quicker. I probably would have just taken the beating myself |
