Sinn Fein Man Opposes Flag Flying

Francie Brolly suggested bunting would be more appropriate
A Sinn Fein assembly member has said he is not happy that Irish tricolours are being flown from lamp posts in Dungiven to commemorate a dead hunger striker.

Sunday is the anniversary of the death of Kevin Lynch, who died during the 1981 hunger strikes. The main street has been lined with flags but MLA Francie Brolly said an alternative tribute should be used. "I have strong feelings about the tricolour, perhaps bunting would be more appropriate for the parade route."

A man who helped organise Sunday's commemoration, but did not wish to be named, said he had never heard of any problems with flags being flown in Dungiven before.
"This happens every year and I've never heard any complaints about this before," he said.



FRANCIE BROLLY HANG YOUR HEAD IN DISGRACE!

How must the Lynch family feel? How must the families of all the Hunger Strikers feel? This speaks volumes! How can they talk about "a united Ireland in 2016", yet they oppose hanging a tricolour? Give us a break!

After 30+ years of attending protests, visiting Republican Prisoners, watching the 1981 Hunger Strikers suffer and die, knowing how their families suffered..........this is mystifying !!!??? (Well, not really I guess... but some how it still is!)

After all that was done for Francie Brolly and his family by supporters in New York; what could change a man's values and principles ?!?! ( Where have all their principles gone? And what do they stand for ?)

Francie Brolly should hang his head is shame! He is a disgrace to all things Irish & Catholic and all things Irish Republican! Our families having been good friends for decades.... I would cross to the other side of the street if I saw him today. It just goes to show how money, power, and position can corrupt a persons' values. 30 years agoI never thought Francie Brolly would become a sell-out and an anglophile!

GOD SAVE IRELAND! This is my daily prayer.
