#CumannNamBan a chum.

Sad my father, grandmother and others from latter generations in Ireland, aren’t around to see Antitreatyite Republican womens histories on bookshelves!

This would have never happened 30yrs ago.

History was relegated to Manels and men in those days.

Progress!

Show me the Govt’s official commemoration of #CumannNamBan during the DOC.

Mna100?
Plaques in towns?

I can’t wait to be wrong. Show me that I’m wrong.

This is so needed, after the #DecadeOfCentenaries snubbing of #CumannNamBan , #Markievicz and the widows of #The77Executed . Terrific scope covered.

Conversations to be had soon; will the women’s service to the country and history during the 1912-1922 period be finally respected in a SF govt?

Will #CumannNamBan finally be given their proper commemorations and dignity?

Will we finally get a National Women’s Museum in Dublin?
