“One cannot visualise Ferghal Ó h-Anluain crossing over and joining the ranks of the enemy”

In an oration at the grave of Ferghal Ó h-Anluain in Latlurgan cemetery Co Monaghan on Sunday January 14, to mark the 50th anniversary of the deaths of Sean Sabhat and Ferghal Ó h-Anluain following a raid by the IRA’s ‘Pearse Column’ on Brookeborough RUC barracks in Co Fermanagh on January 1 1957, the President of Sinn Féin Poblachtach Ruairí Ó Brádaigh said: “It is impossible today to imagine Sean Sabhat who was so assiduous in his care for weapons actually destroying them at the behest of the enemy. Such he would have regarded as treachery with all the penalties that go with it.

“Similarly, one simply cannot visualise Ferghal Ó h-Anluain crossing over and joining the ranks of the enemy – donning a ‘Peeler’s coat’ – and siding with them in the inevitable confrontation with his former comrades.

“As thoughtful, well read, deeply convinced and dedicated Irish Republicans, one clearly cannot see either of them following a path of deceit, duplicity and treachery over 20 years. This road led away from the All-Ireland Republic of 1916 and First Dail and into Leinster House, Stormont and heavily financed offices in Westminster.

“It meant accepting the Unionist veto on Irish national independence, the treacherous destruction of arms given for the freedom of Ireland and ultimately enrolling in the forces of the British Crown to impose English rule in Ireland.”
