Blfast memorial rededicated

After 12 months delay caused by planners, the memorial erected by the International Brigades Commemoration Committee in Oct. 2007 will be rededicated by Bob Doyle, the last Irish brigadista, on Sat. 8th Nov.

Saturday 8th November

2pm Unveiling of Sculpture, Writers Square, Donegall Street.

Bob Doyle - the last surviving Irish brigadista - will speak at the rededication of the Belfast Memorial to the local anti-fascist volunteers in the Spanish Civil war- 20 of whom died in Spain.

This memorial commemorates all the anti-facists who took part in the scw, and as such this event should get the support of all trends within the labour movement.
