		Saor Eire was formed around 1967 by members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) who resigned because of the organizations lack of military activity and with people associated with the Trotskyist, Irish Workers Group.
		Saor Eire military activities appear to have been initiated with weapons stolen in a heist from the Parker and Hale munitions factory in Birmingham.
		During a bank robbery in 1970 Saor Eire murdered Garda Fallon an Irish Policeman, by coincidence the weapons used in the murder were Star pistols of the type from the Parker Hale Munitions heist in Birmingham.

		Saor Eire styled itself as an urban guerilla group, as it believed that the decisive struggle was taking place in cities amongst the working class.
		Saor Eire's concentration on bank robberies meant that gangsters on the fringes of the Republican movement were soon playing a leading role in the organization at the expense of the more politically orientated members.
		At her funeral, despite the presence of over 200 police officers, Saor Eire activists fired three volleys of shots over her coffin draped with the flag of the Trotskyist United Secretariat of the Fourth International; and the Irish Trotskyist DR O Connor Lysaght read the oration.

		The group reappeared in 1967 as a minor Republican paramilitary group which was active in the 1960s and 1970s, when it was believed to be involved in bank robberies in the Republic of Ireland.
		Saor Éire was reformed in 1967 by members of the Irish Republican Army, one of whom was Frank Keane the former head of the IRA Dublin Brigade, it was believed to have around between forty and sixty members of whom the majority were based in Dublin and Cork.
		In 1975 Saor Eire made threats against both the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP) and the Official Irish Republican Army (OIRA) at a time when both organisations were engaged in a feud in Belfast.

		At the meeting, McDowell divulged information that strengthened the Fallon family’s belief that the gun that killed their father was part of an illegal consignment smuggled into the country in the knowledge of senior Fianna Fáil figures.
		Richard Fallon was shot dead during a bank robbery at Arran Quay carried out by Saor Eire, a republican splinter group, in 1970.
		According to notes of the meeting, McDowell accepted that allegations of state involvement in Saor Eire’s gun running operation “was not an impossible theory’‘.

		during this time the IMG was giving political support to the Irish Republican Army offshoot, the Saor Eire which was also a terrorist organisation.
		There was a close relationship between the IMG and the Irish Terror group the Saor Eire with Saor Eire Leaders Gerry (Gery) Lawless and Peter Graham members of the IMG and the Fourth International respectively.
		It would be interesting, especially in light of recent terrorist and Marxist activities (Mugabe), to know Gallop’s view on accountability and responsibility of supporters and promoters of state and international terrorism in western countries.

		There are many other matters which may have been related to this entire issue such as the murder of Garda Fallon by a group of bank robbers who were said to be members of Saor Eire.
		The murder of Peter Graham who had associations, it is believed, with Saor Eire.
		Saor Eire had connections with the Citizens Committee which, it would appear, was a committee set up as a cover for covert government involvement in the north of Ireland.

	The revolutionary dialectic of Republicanism - Part seven
		The IRA set up a left wing party under the name of Saor Eire and at its first congress In 1931 it described itself as "an Organization of Workers and Working Farmers" with socialist goals.
		In October 1931 Saor Eire was denounced by the Catholic Bishops of Ireland as "frankly communistic in its aims".
		The Bishops went on to say that Saor Eire and the IRA, "whether separate or in alliance", were "sinful and irreligious" and that "no Catholic can lawfully be a member of them." (Quoted by W.K. Anderson, James Connolly and the Irish Left, p.

	Saor Eire - The Badger's Sett
		In the process of looking for something else, I stumbled across a series of articles on the Blanket about Saor Eire (the 1960s group, not the 1930s group).
		One thing that was mentioned in Bowyer Bell's The Secret Army that wasn't mentioned in these articles was a splinter group called Saoirse Eire.
		Anyway, the articles are A Little Known Republican Military Group: Saor Eire and three followup articles: Saor Eire, Follow up on Saor Eire, and Saor Eire again.

	Workers' Liberty #61 - What is Irish republicanism? March 2000.
		Here we pause in the middle of the story of the IRA and Stalinism to discuss one of the all-shaping forces in Irish Catholic society, and the greatest factor working against the development of socialism and communism, or even Irish left-populist Republicanism.
		Within a few months, Saor Eire was dead, cut down by an eruption of priest-fostered and pervasive "White Terror" from both Catholic vigilantism and the Free-State government.
		It was, so to speak, a logical sequel to the collapse of MacBride and Saor Eire before the bishops 20 years earlier.

		But although I am now, politically, very far from the Bob Purdie of those years, I am also an historian and I would like to correct some points in the article, on the basis of personal knowledge.
		The "privileged relations" with the IMG amounted to the unsolicited Saor Eire manifesto, fraternal greetings to an IMG conference and the interview with two SE members, published in the Red Mole.

		Nobody has been convicted of the murder of Garda Richard Fallon, who was killed on April 3rd, 1970, while chasing raiders who had just held up the Royal Bank of Ireland at Arran Quay, Dublin.
		The republican splinter group, Saor Éire, was suspected of carrying out the raid, one of a series attributed to the group in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
		Now Mr Finian Fallon, one of five children of the dead garda, has called for the case to be reopened in the light of recent new information about the Arms Trial.

	An Phoblacht: About Us
		In that year two republican papers, Eire, and The Irish Nation, were in financial difficulty and finally merged, forming a new weekly, Sinn Féin.
		The new coercion legislation introduced in October 1931, which proscribed 12 organisations including the IRA and Saor Eire, forced many IRA Volunteers to go on the run.
		This sounded a great deal like Saor Eire, which had been engulfed and suppressed in a ‘red scare’ orchestrated by church and state.

	The Republic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The highpoint for radical republicanism, represented mainly by the IRA, was from 1929 to 1934; the zenith was the organisation’s launch of the Saor Éire programme in 1931.
		The catholic hierarchy’s denunciation of the IRA for its Saor Éire programme, allied to a suspicion of communism among many of its rank and file, gradually forced the organisation to water down its radical rhetoric.
		The organisation split in 1934 with the most prominent socialists leaving to form the Republican Congress, which declared that an Irish republic would not be realised unless capitalism in Ireland was ‘uprooted’.

		Cosgrave’s Government lived on a knife-edge from September 1927 until they were finally defeated in the next General Election in February 1932.
		In the intervening years further measures were introduced against Republicans of all types, including the reintroduction of flogging, while the Catholic Church took an anti-Republican stance in 1930-31 especially against the new socialist grouping Saor Éire.

		But the Minister is allowed to stress here, and the public have been somewhat inflamed by the rise of a new movement so it is said—Saor Eire the President spoke of.
		I think the minds operating behind that movement are not wholly the same as those which were operating what may be called the purely Nationalist movement.

		In 1931, socialist elements within the IRA founded Saor Eire, seeking the overthrow of "British Imperialism and its ally capitalism" in Ireland, but the organization collapsed in the face of a government ban and Catholic Church denunciation.
		Though initiative had come from within the IRA, the proposal by Gilmore was turned down by the Army Council, forcing him to resign from the IRA in order to carry on with the formation.
		Irish socialists joined with their comrades from many nations in the International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War: some 145 volunteers, mostly trade unionists and IRA members, formed the Connolly Column, fighting alongside the Abraham Lincoln Brigade against the Fascist forces of Generalissimo Franco.
