McSuibhne/Joe Murphy Cumann
The Traoloch
McSuibhne/Joe Murphy Cumann is the Sinn Féin branch for the Cork South
West and
South Central local authority wards. This area includes Bishopstown,
Togher,
Ballyphehane, Turners’ Cross, and Greenmount. The cumann is named in
honour of
Terence McSwiney, the Lord Mayor of Cork
who died on hunger-strike in Brixton Prison in 1920, and Ballyphehane
native
Joe Murphy, who died on hunger-strike in the same year.
The cumann
is
extremely active, publishing a regular newssheet, organising functions
and
social events, and campaigning on a variety of local and national
issues. It
supports the work of local Sinn Fein representatives Cllr Fiona Kerins
and
Henry Cremin. The cumann holds an annual Joe Murphy/Terence McSwiney
Commemoration each October.
The
cumann has a
strong membership drawn from all age groups. It meets every Tuesday at 8pm in the Sinn Féin office
on 136 Barrack Street.
New members are always welcome.
