British Army Incursion in County Monaghan.

The 32 County Sovereignty Movement are calling on the 26 county government to clarify its position regarding British Army and police activities in the 26 county jurisdiction following the latest incursion by Crown Forces.

It has been reported that a British military spotter plane circled over the town of Clones in County Monaghan on at least three occasions between 10.00am and 1.00pm on Saturday 24th January 2009.
A large deployment of Crown Forces has been just over the illegal border for the last number of days in the nearby village of Newtownbutler following warnings that the IRA have left a rocket in the area.

Republicans in Counties Fermanagh, Cavan and Leitrim have been aware of RUC/PSNI patrols straying over the border on numerous occasions recently and this latest incursion is another blatant affront to Irish Sovereignty.

The 32 County Sovereignty Movement would like to know if this incursion has been sanctioned by the 26 County administration as part of their war on Irish Republicanism and if so where does that leave their own claims to having sovereign integrity over their own jurisdiction and where does it leave their claims of neutrality given that a heavily armed occupation army and police force may be allowed to use their territory.

The 32 County Sovereignty Movement not alone condemn the military wing of the British government for continuing these deliberate incursions but we also condemn the 26 county administrations failure to protect its sovereignty in 1998 and again in 2009 when attacks on that sovereignty are ignored , encouraged or even facilitated.
