Sceala Irish Craic Forum Discussion:     Joe Cahill Father of modern Irish Republicanism

Joe Cahill died last night after a short illness aged 84.

Joe Cahill was an honorary life vice-president of Sinn Fein and was seen as the father figure of the modern Republican movement.

He had been jailed on a number of occasions and was sentenced to death in the 1940s for the murder of a policeman.

In 1942, he was arrested along with five others after an operation against the Royal Ulster Constabulary resulted in the death of one of its members.

All six men were sentenced to death. Five of them, including Joe Cahill, had their sentences commuted to life in prison, while the sixth man, Tom Williams, was executed in Belfast Prison.

Some people will no doubt claim Joe Cahill was just a terrorist; but they will do so from a mindset that was not affected like his and his families were, by a sectarian minority regime in Ireland(akin exactly like that of apartheid South Africa) that was and is still supported by a foreign power.

Joe Cahill's role in the peace process was by many accounts the vital key.
