Ógra Shinn Fein learned with sadness the death of veteran republican socialist, Brian Keenan. We extend our sympathy to his extended family and friends at this time. Brian was a lifelong republican who came to the fore when the need arose to defend the cause of the Irish Republic.As a republican who dedicated his life to the Irish republican struggle for freedom and independence, his absence will be evident and irreplaceable. In a series of interviews with An Phoblacht before his death Brian spoke of the ‘opportunities that are there to move the struggle forward to reunification and independence'.
Brian remains an inspiration to Ógra and as we progress towards the socialist republic for which he dedicated his life, we will remember his contribution in that struggle.
Brian once said “Revolution can never be over until we have British imperialism where it belongs—in the dustbin of history”. We in Ógra agree fully agree with Brian’s view and pledge to continue to work towards the establishment of a 32 county democratic socialist republic in Ireland.

RIP Brian, you were and always will be an inspiration to all young Republicans.
Indeed a hero in his time and someone to look up to for all republicans,young and old,brian lead the way and did'nt shirk his responsibility when it came to making peace,creating peace and transforming a military scenario into a political struggle,where we banked our winnings and are continuing on to unite the island of Ireland,without the likes of brians forward thinking this could not have been done,brian passed away on the anniversary of the deaths of patsy o hara and ray mc creesh,their spirit is still with us......GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

R.I.P. Brian. A true revolutionary soldier of the Irish Republic, your activism, dedication and commitment are an inspiration to those of us who carry on where you left off in this unfinished struggle!
