"I appeal to you to reconsider your dcision. Casement Park was my introduction to the GAA, in the early 60's. It also put me in touch with my Irishness and all that it means to be Irish. Part of that Irishness are my republican values. They too were learne"
"The GAA elite have a very short and revisionist memory. They have let themselves down on this one."
"We have as much right to march as protestants and the hunger strikers have the right to be remembered."
"Them men died for our country, so have some respect and let them use the park for the Hunger Strike Rally"
"There should be no ban to placate Those who introduced apartheid like conditions on the GAA playing population in the North."
"gregory campbell and his cohorts tortured the gaa when they were in power in derry city council,they objected to anything irish and especially anything to do with gaa......god bless bobby sands and his comrades"
"agree with petition-always in my prayers"
"A sad day in the history of the GAA if this request for the rally to be cancelled is not rescinded."
"Casement would be there."
"This should be allowed to go ahead. These Brave Men died for all the Irish people, Unionists and their Free State PUPPETS should be thankful"

"Castlebar, Co. Mayo"
"I think that in 2006, 25 years after those great men died for their basic demands in the hell of Long Kesh, it is an absolute shame that the GAA take this stance. They seem to forget what these men were fighting for. Every Irish Republican hero since Wolf"
"Ten men gave up their lives for their comrades, with courage and dignity. A respectful commemoration at Casement Park is not too much too ask for."
