Northern Ireland needsan opposition

Eamon Devoy The Manwho keeps the lights on

The rise and rise of FEE

The end of Fianna Fail?

hands of the radical student left there is

an immediate need for a radical student

fightback...

We didnt go to war to be kill or

to be killed we went to War to be

heard...

While the radicalism of early Fianna

Fail can be overstated the party was far

to the left of the prevailing Free State

orthodoxy
