'Crann na Poblachta' to be planted in Derry in memory of George McBrearty, Charles 'Pop' Maguire and the ten hunger strikers on 40th anniversary

44th anniversary commemoration for IRA Volunteer George McBrearty to take place in Derry on Sunday

The brother of George McBrearty has appealed to all republicans to support the late IRA Volunteer’s 44th anniversary commemoration in Creggan on Sunday.

Danny McBrearty told the ‘Journal’ that an open invite has been extended to all republican grouping and parties in advance of the annual memorial event which will be addressed by former prisoners and authors Richard O’Rawe and John Crawley.

George was aged 23 when he was shot dead by undercover British soldiers alongside Charles ‘Pop’ Maguire, aged 21, at the bottom of Southway on May 28, 1981.

“It’s so important that the memory of the hunger strikers, Volunteer George and all Volunteers and comrades are never forgotten,” they said.

Sunday will be a particularly poignant commemoration for the McBrearty family following the passing of George’s mother Bridie in June last year.

Mr. McBrearty said: “I believe it is very important that all republican groupings, including all the political parties – the 32 County Sovereignty Movement (32CSM), the Irish Republican Socialist Movement (IRSM), Sinn Féin, the 1916 Societies, Republican Sinn Féin, Saoradh, the Republican Network for Unity, Éirigí, Lasair Dhearg and any independent republicans – come forward and acknowledge us and come to the commemoration.”

At Sunday’s event Mr. O’Rawe will deliver the main oration. The event will be chaired by Mr. Crawley.
