The Famine Walk 2024 - Remembrance & Solidarity
This year, we dedicate the Famine Walk to highlighting and standing against genocide in Palestine. Just as Niall O’Brien highlighted the deliberate starvation of the Irish people, we want to shed light on the ongoing apartheid and colonialism to which Palestine is being subjected. Israel’s brutal bombardment and occupation, the use of imposed starvation and the countless other forms of violence being committed against the Palestinians, are unconscionable. For this Famine Walk, we want to promote action. We know the hearts and minds of the Irish people are with Palestine, but we need our government to put these feelings into political action. In the future, our actions, or lack thereof, wi...

    Isolationism and neutrality do not work. When the free world takes two steps backwards, the dictatorships take four steps forwards. Isolationism means stepping back from allies, trading partners and fellow EU members who then turn their backs on you when you are eventually in trouble anyway. Isolationism is like a tightrope walker throwing away his safety net. Isolationism means freeloading on neighbours for defence. That's why Russia is pushing isolationism and division in the West. Peace, freedom, and strength through unity and allies!

    Gerry's story is so powerful. I remember very well watching him walk out the front door of the Old Bailey the day he was exonerated and the pictures will stay with me forever. It was a lot more than a miscarriage of justice. As we know his dad died in Jail, and he lost 15 years of his life. I can't imagine what it must be like to be innocent and jailed for such a long long time. The movie "in the name of the father" is one of the greatest true story movies ever made. Even after all this time the movie still gets me at the end and that's a powerful powerful movie. Great speech from Gerry here. R.I.P

    I'm an American of Irish ancestry. My Irish ancestor, Patrick McDermott came over to America alone at 14 years old a few years before the famine. And yet, I've had this intense grief and have been crying a lot watching this and learning about this famine. It seems strange but I think it's because the Irish people of that time are my people too. In 2023, I'm an American, but 1847, the Irish people were my people. And I'm coming to terms with the horror of what happened to them.
