Cathaoirleach éirígí (Chairperson) Brian Leeson has accused the Sunday World of ‘wilfully missing the point’ in relation to its coverage of the upcoming controversial British Army event in the K Club. Reacting to an article in yesterday’s (16 September) edition of the Irish News and Media publication Leeson said: 'Yesterday’s article in the Sunday World was as inaccurate as it was predictable. Instead of addressing the legitimate concerns of those who are opposed to the inclusion of the British Army at the K Club event, the Sunday World willfully missed the point and instead did what it always does and ran with sensationalist, inaccurate headlines.

Cathaoirleach éirígí Brian Leeson has condemned the planned appearance of a British Army military band in the exclusive K Club as a “sickening public relations stunt”. Leeson has also confirmed that the socialist republican party will be actively opposing the 5 October event, which is being organised by the Security and Emergency Services Ireland Forum (SESIF) in conjunction with children's charity, The Jack and Jill Foundation.
