Moore Street | Mass Graves | The Falls

Léargas: A Podcast by Gerry Adams

A successful conference in support of Moore St.
Last week The Moore Street Preservation Trust and Uachtarán Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald organised a conference to support the development of a Historical 1916 Cultural Quarter in Dublin City centre with Moore Street at its heart.
Mass graves an act of barbarism
At the weekend Leas Uachtarán Michelle O’Neill was in London to address a massive pro-Palestinian march. She described what is happening in Gaza as the “gravest human rights violation of our time.” Michelle called for "an immediate, unconditional and complete ceasefire. We need to see an end to genocide, ethnic cleansing, and collective punishment. All hostages should be released immediately and all aid for Gaza must be delivered immediately, and Israeli forces must withdraw from Gaza and the West Bank.”
The Falls
I love photographs. Especially old photos. Particularly black and white ones. Bill Kirk is a veteran photographer. The Falls is his most recent collection, some twenty years after Images of Belfast. It captures a time and a neighbourhood which has gone. As Robin Livingstone in the Foreword says, ‘It is a vital and compelling historical archive, describing in rich detail the people and places where the latest conflict in the shared and troubled history of Ireland and Britain took place.’
