about

(Gibraltar, 1988CE)
Motivated by the brutality she witnessed growing up in West Belfast, Mairéad Farrell became an active member of the cumann na gcailini, later the IRA. Mairéad Farrell was murdered in Gibraltar by the British Army in 1988, one of the ‘Gibraltar 3.’ The European Court of Human Rights found Britain guilty of unlawful killing in 1995.

lyrics

Family homes in rubble, rock
They wonder why we will not stop
Diedre laments another cries
In cowardice another dies
No court is just on stolen land
Injustice we can’t comprehend

She will not rest won’t go to sleep
Until her beautiful land is free
She will not ponder will not cry
Whilst Ireland lives she will not die

Irish republicanism a natural progression
Heavy guns loaded to teach kids a lesson


Is mna sinn/We are women
Ní sasanache me/ We are not English

With love and respect to the rebel singers and musicians who have adapted Mairéad Farrell's story into their songs which has served to inspire our own tribute. Go raibh maith agat.
