32 CSM to open office in Derry
The 32 County Sovereignty Movement is expected to open an office in the city next week.
The office will be located in the Shantallow area of the city where a new cumann of the 32 CSM was established last week.
The new cumann is named after IRA volunteer Phil O'Donnell, who died in 1982. The chairperson of the new cumann, Seamus Breslin, said the new group was formed after interest from republicans in the Shantallow area.
"As a senior staff officer, Phil O'Donnell undertook the task of training the Derry Brigade of the IRA; he was interned in 1971 for eight months and later spent several years in Portlaoise on membership and weapons charges.
"After his release, he reported back to the republican movement. Sadly, Phil contracted cancer and died at the age of 50 on Christmas Eve 1982 and was a huge loss to his family and the republican cause," he said.
Mr. Breslin also said the cumann would "name and shame" drug dealers operating in the Shantallow area. "We will not hesitate, whenever necessary, to name and shame known local drug dealers and anti-social elements that plague the community.
"The RUC/PSNI is an implement of British political control and has proven itself to be a deeply sectarian force incapable of dealing with these issues.
" We are urging the people of Shantallow to stand behind us," he said.
