Irish Northern Aid Committee

Come hear the unfiltered story directly from the people who fight for justice in Ireland at a brunch and briefing featuring the national chair of the Irish Northern Aid Committee, Paul Doris, and the national president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Ned McGinley.

Since the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998, the British government has unilaterally suspended the devolved government four times and now directly rules the north of Ireland once again. Last time they said it was because Sinn Fein was running a spying operation inside the government, but charges were quietly dropped after hugely publicized raids on offices and homes.

The brunch will start with a great meal from Flanagan's Pub owner Steve Nugent (originally from the streets of Belfast), with live music from Clare's finest, Conor Malone, and lots of information, letter-writing materials, books and the most involved folks in our region.

Tickets are $18 or two for $30 and should be paid in advance. Purchase them here. The brunch starts at noon on Sunday, Feb. 22, at Flanagan's Pub (7637 Old Georgetown Rd., Bethesda). For more information, call Randy at 301/325-5560.
