Brón ar an bhás: Danny Burke ar lár

Fuair an grianghrafadóir agus gníomhaí pobail Danny Burke bás ar na mallaibh, go ndéana Dia a mhaith air.

Danny Burke, founder of Belfast Exposed who passed away recently was a formidable ambassador for nationalist and republican Ireland.

He was an activist and community stalwart, as evidenced by this picture from College Square East in Belfast on 11 April 1981 when he tried to lead a parade supporting the hunger strikers to City Hall. The RUC turned us back and the day descended into rioting.

This picture was taken by his fellow lensman Basil McLaughlin. No doubt they are comparing shutter speeds in heaven as I write.

The Irish Times had a fitting obituary for the former Galway IRA man in Saturday's edition. 

And there's an evocative obit on the Belfast Exposed site.
