Iris - The Republican Magazine (Spring/Summer 2012) out now

The Spring/Summer 2012 edition of Iris - The Republican Magazine is out now.

The latest edition includes an exclusive interview with legendary musician Christy Moore about his music, hopes and memories of the H-Blocks.

Also, Iris speaks to two female former IRA prisoners about their experiences in Maghaberry Gaol and activists report direct from Palestine about the realities of living under Israeli occupation. The controversial "fracking" gas extraction process is looked at in detail and our editor reports from Corsica, where a low-level armed campaign by Corsican separatists is still being waged against French rule. Of particular note to young activists is a piece by former Hunger Striker Laurence McKeown who speaks about the role of young republicans and how this generation can deliver Irish unity. There are also comment pieces, book and cd reviews and much more.

Iris - The Republican Magazine is €3.99/£3.20 for a 64-page full-colour magazine. It is available from your local Sinn Féin Bookshop, Constituency Office or you can order an edition online here.

If any Sinn Féin Republican Youth branches wish to purchase several copies of Iris to sell for fundraising then please contact Tommy on sales@sinnfeinbookshop.com for a special rate.
