Johnny Mythen : Bobby storey was the epitome of the Republican struggle in Ireland. He gave leadership when there was none. He gave strength when there was weakness. He gave hope when there was despair . R. I. P. Fear mor.
Gerry Adams TD : Death of Bobby Storey – Adams expresses “deep sense of loss”
Former Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has spoken of his “deep sense of personal loss and sadness” at the death of his friend of many years Bobby Storey.
Gerry Adams said:
“Ba mhaith liom mo chomhbrón a ghabháil le teaghlach Storey.
“Bobby Storey was a stalwart of the struggle for Irish freedom for almost 50 years. As a young teenager growing up in North Belfast he witnessed, like many others of his generation, the violence and bigotry of the Unionist state, and then of the British Army. The introduction of internment in August 1971 and the murder of 14 civil rights marchers in Derry in January 1972 were two huge influences on his young life. Big Bobby chose to make a stand against these injustices. He was interned aged seventeen, one of the youngest internees, and in the decades that followed he spent over 20 years in prison.
“Bobby had a sharp, insightful political mind. He embraced the opportunity for building the republican struggle and advancing our goal of Irish Unity created by the peace process. At countless republican meetings he spoke in favour of Sinn Féin’s peace strategy. And when, following years of negotiations, the potential emerged for republicans to engage with the new policing dispensation Bobby played a leadership role in persuading others to grasp this new opportunity.
“Bobby was one of the bravest people I have ever had the honour to know. Whether inside or outside of prison, or through the years of harassment and beatings, arrests and torture from the RUC and British Army, Big Bobby demonstrated time and time again his enormous personal commitment and courage.
“He was also one of the funniest people I know. Big Bobby made light of his stammer. He could hold a group spellbound with his stories of past escapades and derring do. His accounts of life in prison in England were hilarious. He was kind, thoughtful, oyal and very giving.
“Bobby was part of an amazing group of people who over recent decades have formed a cohesive, effective collective leadership. During his time as Chairperson of Belfast Sinn Féin and of the Sinn Féin organisation in the North, Sinn Féin grew in electoral strength and representation. Big Bobby was loved and respected. In recent years as he battled his illness Bobby remained cheerful.
“He refused to allow it to prevent him from functioning as an activist. Last year he took on the task of reorganising the Sinn Féin Art/book shop on the Falls Road. As ever there were no half measures. The place was gutted out, completely redesigned and he took a personal interest in deciding what items would be on the shelves and helped design some of them. No task was too small or too great.
“Big Bobby’s death is a huge political blow for republicans but is also a very personal loss for all of us who knew him. There were tears shed across Ireland as comrades got news of his death.
“On behalf of Colette and myself and our family I extend my sincerest and deepest sympathies and solidarity to Teresa, their children and grandchildren, his brothers Seamus and Brian, his sister Geraldine, his extended family circle and his many friends.
“Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.”
John Mallon : Totally devastating news to hear the passing of Bobby storey . A friend and comrade to many here in Ireland and across the world. Had the pleasure of being in Bobby’s company many times. A very determined man visionary leader. He would be the first to offer help and advice. Ive no doubt some of the media in the next day’s and week’s will try too paint a different picture of the man he was. But it will fall on deaf ears too the people who loved him. One thing I do know. There would never been a peace process in Ireland if it hadn’t have been for people like Bobby Rip
Sinn Féin Ireland : Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald TD has expressed deep sadness at the death of Belfast republican Bobby Storey.
“It was with deep sadness that I learned today of the death of Bobby Storey.
“Bobby was a lifelong and very deeply committed Irish Republican whose passing will be received with great sadness by republicans throughout Ireland.
“Bobby was involved in republican activism for over forty years and suffered great hardship for his selfless dedication to his republican ideals.
“Born in Belfast, into a deeply sectarian state, Bobby, from a very young age, was the target of harassment by the British Army and RUC and spent over 20 years in prison, much of it on remand.
“He was interned without trial at just seventeen years of age, by which time he had been repeatedly arrested, brutalised and assaulted by members of the British army.
“Bobby was in Long Kesh internment camp when it was burned down and when prisoners were subjected to brutal attacks by the British military.
“A participant in the 1983 escape of political prisoners from the H-Blocks of Long Kesh, he was captured soon afterwards and spent more years in jail.
“A champion of the peace process, following his release from prison, Bobby played a prominent role in the development of Sinn Féin, serving as Chairperson of Sinn Féin in Belfast and then Chairperson of the party’s Six County Cúige.
“Bobby was extremely committed to the pursuit of a United Ireland with equality and social justice for all. He will be greatly missed.
“Today we have lost a great Republican. His loss will be felt by all who had the privilege to call him their friend
“On behalf of Sinn Féin I wish to extend my condolences and deepest sympathies to Bobby’s much loved partner Teresa, their children and grandchildren, his brothers Seamus and Brian, sister Geraldine and their many friends and comrades across Ireland.
“Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.”
Stevie Harte : Can’t believe it, had a zoòm meeting with him and many SF members just this week. He was in great form laughing and joking, “pen pall” instead of pay pall. Had us all in stiches. May your god be with you comrade.
Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile : Codladh Sámh Bob.‬
‪A massive sense of lose amongst the Republican family tonight, after the passing of our friend, comrade & leader Bobby Storey.‬
‪His huge heart & stature only surpassed by his mammoth contribution to the republican struggle throughout the course of his life. We will miss him. ‬
Thoughts and sympathies with Theresa and all the Clann.
