Activists Fight to Preserve Irish Language

> PROTECTING THE IRISH LANGUAGE: This activist says Irish
language speakers have been treated like ‘second-class citizens’
in Northern Ireland — but movements like @dreamdearg are
rallying to change that.

Sinn Féin
--- Quote ---
> Sinn Féin is the largest Irish republican political party, and
was historically associated with the IRA, while also having been
associated with the Provisional IRA in the party's modern
incarnation. The Irish government alleged that senior members of
Sinn Féin have held posts on the IRA Army Council.[81] However,
the SF leadership has denied these claims.[82]
>
> A republican document of the early 1980s stated: "Both Sinn
Féin and the IRA play different but converging roles in the war
of national liberation. The Irish Republican Army wages an armed
campaign... Sinn Féin maintains the propaganda war and is the
public and political voice of the movement".[83] Robert White
states at that time Sinn Fein was the junior partner in the
relationship with the IRA, and they were separate organisations
despite there being some overlapping membership.[84]
>
> The British government stated in 2005 that "we had always said
all the way through we believed that Sinn Féin and the IRA were
inextricably linked and that had obvious implications at
leadership level".[85]
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Immediately after the June 2017 UK general election, where the
Conservatives won 49% of seats but not an overall majority, so
that non-mainstream parties could have significant influence,
Gerry Adams announced for Sinn Féin that their elected MPs would
continue the policy of not swearing allegiance to the Queen, as
would be required for them to take their seats in the
Westminster Parliament.[71]
>
> In 2017 and 2018 there were allegations of bullying within the
party, leading to a number of resignations and expulsions of
elected members.[72]
>
> At the Ard Fheis on 18 November 2017, Gerry Adams announced he
would stand down as president of Sinn Féin in 2018, and would
not stand for re-election as TD for Louth.

--- Quote ---
> Gerard Adams (Irish: Gearóid Mac Ádhaimh;[1] born 6 October
1948) is an Irish republican politician who was the president of
Sinn Féin between 13 November 1983 and 10 February 2018, and
served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for Louth from 2011 to 2020.[2][3]
From 1983 to 1992 and from 1997 to 2011, he was an abstentionist
Member of Parliament (MP) of the British Parliament for the
Belfast West constituency.
>
> In 1984, Adams was seriously wounded in an assassination
attempt by several gunmen from the Ulster Defence Association
(UDA), including John Gregg.[4] From the late 1980s onwards, he
was an important figure in the Northern Ireland peace process,
initially following contact by Social Democratic and Labour
Party (SDLP) leader John Hume and then subsequently with the
Irish and British governments.[5] He led Sinn Féin to change its
traditional policy of abstentionism towards the Oireachtas, the
parliament of the Republic of Ireland, in 1986; it later took
seats in the power-sharing Northern Ireland Assembly. In 2005,
the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) stated that its
armed campaign was over and that it was exclusively committed to
peaceful politics.[6]
>
> In 2014, Adams was held for four days by Northern Irish Police
for questioning in connection with the abduction and murder of
Jean McConville in 1972.[7][8] He was freed without charge and a
file was sent to the Public Prosecution Service,[9] which later
stated there was insufficient evidence to charge him,[10] as had
been expected since shortly after his release.[11][12] Adams
announced in November 2017 that he would step down as leader of
Sinn Féin in 2018, and that he would not stand for re-election
to his seat in the Dáil in the 2020 election.[13] He was
succeeded by Mary Lou McDonald at a special ardfheis (party
conference) on 10 February 2018.[14]

> Ulster loyalism is a strand of Ulster unionism associated with
working class Ulster Protestants in Northern Ireland. Like most
unionists, loyalists are attached to the British monarchy,
support the continued existence of Northern Ireland within the
United Kingdom, and oppose a united Ireland. Unlike other
strands of unionism, loyalism has been described as an ethnic
nationalism of Ulster Protestants and "a variation of British
nationalism".

Irish PM slams 'criminals' who rampaged in central Dublin after
stabbing attack
--- Quote ---
>
>
> Ireland's prime minister on Friday condemned anti-immigrant
protesters who rampaged through central Dublin after three young
children were stabbed, saying the rioters simply wanted to cause
chaos, not protect the country's way of life.
>
> Police made a number of further arrests on Friday evening as
they mounted a significant security operation in Dublin to
ensure that there was no repeat of Thursday's disorder. A number
of people were taken away in police vans following sporadic
altercations.
>
> Police arrested 34 people after Thursday night's rioting, when
up to 500 people looted shops, set fire to vehicles and threw
rocks at crowd control officers equipped with helmets and
shields.
>
> Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said Ireland's capital had
endured two attacks — one on innocent children and the other on
"our society and the rule of law."
>
> "These criminals did not do what they did because they love
Ireland, they did not do what they did because they wanted to
protect Irish people, they did not do it out of any sense of
patriotism, however warped," Varadkar told reporters on Friday
morning.
>
> "They did so because they're filled with hate, they love
violence, they love chaos and they love causing pain to others."
>
> Thursday's unrest came amid rising tensions over immigration
in Ireland that mirror trends in other parts of Europe.
>
> When he was questioned about anti-immigration tensions earlier
this year, Varadkar told Ireland's Parliament that there was
always a place for peaceful protest, but violence, intimidation
and racism were never legitimate.
>
> "I think when it comes to this matter, we should never lose
sight of the bigger picture — we're facing a major refugee
crisis not just here in Ireland but all across Europe," he said
in May.
>
> The head of Ireland's national police force, Commissioner Drew
Harris, described those who took part in Thursday's unrest as a
"complete lunatic hooligan faction driven by far-right
ideology."
>
> Benicio told Britain's Press Association that the disturbances
seemed to be caused by a "small group of people" who "wanted an
excuse to do what they did.''
>
> "What I can say is I know the protest is against immigrants,
and for me it doesn't make sense because I'm an immigrant myself
and I was the one who helped out. For me it doesn't make sense."
