IRELAND'S LARGEST COMMUNITY FESTIVAL - Féile an Phobail

‘We Need To Talk About Colonel K’
St Mary’s University College, Wed 8th Aug,
4.30pm
Colonel Gordon J Kerr was the most influential
British military commander in the North,
commanding the Force Research Unit which
was involved in the most heinous aspects of a
state-organised dirty war. Journalist Paul
Larkin argues that an anti-peace process
section of British Intelligence used a gullible, or
wilfully blind, media in their efforts to
undermine the peace process, and that agents
continue to spread disinformation and dissent.
Why has the media allowed the ‘spooks’ to set
the agenda - just as Colonel Kerr would have
wished?
Plastic Bullet Vigil
Former site, Andersonstown Barracks, Wed 8th Aug, 6-7pm
Annually, Relatives for Justice remind the public of the dangers of
plastic bullets - which are still deployed by the PSNI – and
campaign for a total ban. The vigil will finish at 7pm allowing
people to attend Féile’s West Belfast Talks Back.
Discussion and Debate Plé agus Diospoireachtaí
Colonel Gordon J Kerr
‘Is Gá Dúinn Labhairt faoi Colonel K’
Coláiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire, Dé Céadaoin 8
Lúnasa, 4.30i.n.
Ba é An Coirnéal Gordon J Kerr an ceannfort míleata
Briotanach ba mhó tionchair aige sa Tuaisceart, agus é
i gceannas ar an Force Research Unit a bhí
rannpháirteach sna gnéithe ba ghráinniúla den
chogadh shalach eagraithe ag an stát. Áitíonn an tiriseoir
Paul Larkin gur bhain rannnóg Ionad Faisnéise
na Breataine a bhí in éadan próiseas na síochána
úsáid as meáin a bhí saonta, daille go toiliúil ina gcuid
iarrachtaí an bonn a bhaint de phróiseas na síochána
agus go leanann gníomhaithe ar aghaidh
bréagaisnéis agus easaontas a scaipeadh go fóill. Cén
fáth ar lig na meáin do na ‘spooks’ an clár oibre a
leagan síos – rud ba mhian leis an Choirnéal Kerr?
Bigil na bPiléar Plaisteach
Suíomh Seanbheairic Bhaile Andarsan, Dé Céadaoin 8 Lúnasa,
6-7i.n.

faoi chontúirtí na bpiléar plaisteach – atá an SPTÉ ag úsáid go
fóill, agus faoin fheachtas le haghaidh coisc iomlán orthu.
Críochnóidh an bigil ar 7i.n. chun ligean do dhaoine freastal ar
Chur agus Cúiteamh Iarthar Bhéal Feirste.
