Hi friends of Beara : first off medical, home to-day; pain managed now for eight days, estimated recovery time to next operation cut from six months to six weeks. Two ops left arising from last, all minor. Sincere and warmest thanks for your many supportive, private ems and those posted here. Reg, to try and give a Mainstream Republican perspective on this, first I come from an extended family of IRB, a cousin, JD Sheehan was Head Center in Killarney for the 67 Rising, 3,000 people assembled in the railway to prevent his arrest party leaving. At his command all dispersed and went home peacefully. He ended his public as an MP in the House Of Commons. I too have been on both Hunger and Thirst strike when 'detained' in the UK, nothing like the ordeal of those brave Beara men. I have have been an active Republican since my late teens. The week before my last operation I tramped my local neighborhood, knocked on a thousand doors and giving my own earlier hospital experiences, I argued against the austerity cut-backs advocated in the then fore-coming referendum and gave out a 1,000 anti-cutback pamphlets. There is a dichotomy in regard to the Queen : as head of the British Establishment and Commander -In-Chief of The British Armed Forces occupying part of Ireland, in those and many other such capacities, The Queen is not acceptable to Irish Republicans of whatever hue or to Irish Nationalists alike. When visiting Ireland as Queen and fulfilling any of the afore mentioned roles, she is most definitely not welcome. The Queen is also Head of the British People and their highest public representative. As such she has the respect and indeed affection of a large section of the British and English population, many of whom want to draw a line under Colonialism and vacate the remaining territorial occupations, including Northern Ireland. Indeed I have spend a few days since Tuesday grieving one such fine English friend, the late John Miller, chairman of our Sauniere Society. I have toured Southern France with the Society, the only Irish person there, all were aware of my political background, yet I have never received anything other than respect and friendship from a everyone there. When the Queen is acting as head of the British people........ and solely in that capacity..... then as head of State, out of respect to the peoples that she represents such as I described, then she is entitled to and due a civil response. She and our President Michael D. Higgins in their respective capacities as Heads of State co-hosted a cultural function, Sinn Fein is part of that cultural process and Martin McGuiness as leader of the largest Republican grouping had a role to play in that. It would have been disrespectful by Sinn Fein of those fine English people that I referred to not to have done so. ( As I write McGuiness is on an RTE, TV chat show where these issues are also being teased out.) Hardline British Tories and Ex-Government ministers with their usual mischief making have gone on record jibing the Martin McGuiness handshake as " rightfully acknowledging the Queen as head of the British Northern Ireland " etc while some Republicans and former IRA comrades are shouting 'sell out' To us Mainstream Republicans, that handshake was a gesture to the Unionist section of society that we acknowledged their heritage, even we did not agree with their political ideology. Terrible things happened in the course of the Low Intensity War that ran for over twenty five years in The British Occupied Six County area, we are building a new inter-relationship between the peoples of these Islands, between Ireland North and South and between the communities in the Six-Counties. Given my experiences of the British Occupied Six-Counties, what is happening up there advancing inter-community relationships in recent years, has even amazed me. The 'handshake' strictly within the context defined, is part of the ongoing Peace process, and that context I too supported it.

The attack was a daring episode in the W O I (1913-19220.-and it should be acknowledged that 3 of the participating **Volunteers had in the preceding months ,(February to June 1920) been released from HM Prison,Wormwood Scrubs,White City,London, where they were Interned without charge or trial. They ,with many others from the Area, were on "hunger strike (lasting 38 days), seriously injured in transit,beaten,delirious ,hospitalized and finally released without support. Those participating Local Volunteers involved must be be remembered in addition to Christy O'Connell (Section Leader) and Liam O'Dwyer ( Interned in "The Scrubs" from 12/3/1920 to 30/4/1920) :- Mark O'Sullivan, Jack O'Sullivan Batt O'Neill - Unit was mustered at his house. John Murphy Denis Neil Sean O'Driscoll (C/O 6thBatt-Brigade active Column-Interned in "The Scrubs" from 23/2/1920 to 16/5/1920) Diarmuid (Jerry) O'Driscoll ( Interned in "The Scrubs" from 23/2/1920 to 19/6/1920-Last Internee released) British Forces had raided the* Driscoll* home in Strand Road,Eyeries and threatened to torch it looking for the brothers ( There were 2 others involved in the 6th Batt-James and Thadgh). All these men fought and and suffered greatly ,before,during and after the WOI-and were prepared to make he ultimate sacrifice . We can not blame them for the loss of life on the British side -Terence McSweeney was losing his life at this time also. **There were many Volunteers from Eyeries,Kilcatherine and Castletownbere in Wormwood Scrubs and on Hunger Strike (April/June 1920)-information available to interested family members. *----- John* .

Has there ever been any official British apology/restitution for lack of charges/trials?? I honestly do not get why any self respecting Irish citizen, would WANT the Queen to visit Northern Ireland, including Martin Mc Guiness. Surely, it is way past time for ALL of Ireland, North and South, to vote in a referendum and get on with reuniting the country in a representative government for all. Just my opinion.

The consequences of the raid were that the insurgents' prize included a stack of unused rifles; an unused big drum of ammunition; 19 rifles; over a thousand rounds of loose ammunition, 3 dozen double bandoliers, with clips; 2 revolver belts, with holsters; cartridge belts, with web bandoliers; very pistols with gear; and two large marine telescopes. The large drum of unopened ammunition contained several rounds of .303. What the insurgents found after the raid wasn't a Santa Claus present being prepared for them by the reprentatives of the Crown !! After the raid, a heavy fog decended, and the men escaped with their haul which they hid in several prepared dumps. Previous to the raid, a number of the Beara men, including my father, had been jailed. My father, Liam, had been jailed in Cork at the pleasure of the Crown, where with a man from Skibbereen they smashed their cell doors amd windows and were handcuffed behind their backs, and roped to their "beds". Liam was later jailed and sent to Wormwood Scrubs Prison in London where there were 92 prisoners. After a while, they all went on hunger-strike before being released. After that, Officers Liam & Christy O'Connell, and their local Volunteers, were involved in the raid on Ballycrovane Coastguard Station. Liam's house had been raided at least 4 nights a week, and sometimes twice in a night, before being burned. ---- Riobard.

It makes you think though, all those spam e-mails the Beara was receiving were probably from innocent contacts.   Please apologise to one and all, if anyone has received anything in error from my account.   Lastly, I hope Donal has had a successful operation.  Mary Funnell ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Irish Family History Foundation <enquiries@rootsireland.ie> To: hucklepickleberry@yahoo.co.uk Sent: Thursday, 14 June 2012, 12:29 Subject: East Galway Records Now available   Dear Mrs Mary Funnell, East Galway Records Now Available The IFHF are pleased to announce that the East Galway Family History Society have computated and made accessible online all of their available pre 1911 Roman Catholic marriage and death records and all of their available pre - 1900 Church of Ireland baptismal, marriage and burial records.

Dear friends, I just had a note from Mary Funnell, who asked, among other things that I convey her apologies for the two spam messages sent to the Beara list by a virus that has infected her computer. She is taking corrective measures and hopes to be back with us shortly. -- Bill Dear Bill   I have just gone online for the first time today and found I have 80 failure to deliver messages to people I did not contact. You are correct - something has hacked into my files.  Thanks for the warning. I hope you can receive this safely and send apologies to everyone concerned - it wasn't me! I hope there was nothing untoward in the e-mail, because I don't know what was sent out. Kind regards, Mary Funnell ________________________________ From: Bill Gawne <gawne@cesmail.net> To: Mary Funnell <hucklepickleberry@yahoo.co.uk> Sent: Wednesday, 13 June 2012, 20:23 Subject: Spam sent to the Beara list Hi Mary, It appears your computer is infected with a virus that is sending spam out to all the addresses you have saved in e-mail.  Rootsweb has disabled your subscription to the Beara list.  Please let me know when you've done a virus scan of your computer and gotten rid of the infection. I know you'd never do this intentionally. -- Bill
