-----------------------------
A report on last weekend’s successful IFC function for Irish Political Prisoners in Boston follows below from Matthew Kavanah, Member Irish Freedom Committee, Boston.


On the cool Spring evening of Saturday May 3rd the
Teachers Union Hall in Dorchester, MA echoed with the
voices, laughter and song of The Boston Chapter of the
Irish Freedom Committee, Kerins/O'Neill Unit's Spring
Dance and Raffle for the benefit of Dependents of
Irish Political Prisoners.

The event was well attended by the young and
young-at-heart alike. New and old faces blended into
one force supporting the Dependents of the Irish
Political Prisoners.

Outstanding music was provided by Mike Carroll's
(Donegal) Band and dancing was enjoyed by all. Mike
Carroll, though in a tremendous amount of physical
pain, demonstrated an admirable and selfless
dedication to the cause and played on through the
entire event. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to
Mike Carroll and salute him for his passion and
self-forgetting devotion to an endeavor to support the
Dependents of Irish Political Prisoners. They are not
forgotten and Mike Carroll's example will always be
remembered.

The event was highlighted by raffles for many prizes
including ; $500.00 in MA Lottery scratch tickets; a
hand painted Irish Bodhron, crafted by Irish Political
Prisoners in Portlaoise Gaol; and a $100.00 Gift
Certificate to a renowned Boston Restaurant.

The event was a rousing success thanks to every
individual who demonstrated support. With such
solidarity and comradery the Dependents of Irish
Political Prisoners will never be forgotten. The
prophetic words of Bobby Sands succinctly
characterized the evening,

"Everyone, Republican or otherwise, has their
own particular part to play. No part is too great
or too small, no one is too old or too young to do
something."
