Correction, that was 13th January 2005 not 31st.

Anything else you know Adam?

At least she seems well able to string some words together unlike her husband!

It’s her sister that’s married to O’Snodaigh, not her.

She can count herself lucky then…unlucky for her sister!!

She is the greatest woman in Ireland, after Mary Lou.

Reg that’s below the belt, the chap clearly has a speech impediment. Well done you.

Adam – that’s not Criona Ni Dalaigh that Aisling Ni Dalaigh in the article!

Very hard for them to hijack 1916 from people with no interest in 1916. SF hold commemorations in every last county of Ireland every single year. Seems to me other parties are the ones trying to hijack/feign interest for next year.

Cormac. Put down the Smartphone. Pick up a history book.

The Sinn Fein of the Rising were totally different to the new party started in the 1970s that shrewdly adopted the name Sinn Fein.

You may be surprised to learn that the modern day Land League of Killiney Hill fame is not connected with the Land League of the late 19th century in any way. It is pretty much the same ploy of adopting a name from the past as your own.

It was mistakenly called the Sinn Fein Rising, they actually had no part in it. SF were founded in 1905 as a dual-monarchist party and didn’t embrace republicanism until after the rising.

Tir Eoghainn- while SF were out holding parades and passing around the Easter Lillies, FG & Labour were too busy sending the Troika home and restoring the nations economic sovereignty. But yeah, parades are nice, like.

David doyle like before. FF/FG split from SF.

David ffs
All political parties have morphed from their initial formation.
Does ff’ers still want ireland to be a “Vatican satellite state”? no, well, most of them anyhow!
SF has gone through dramatic change but they won’t allow other political parties to airbrush them outta history the way you are trying to do.
Enough with your propaganda. Labour n Sinn Fein were the only parties in existence back then that exist today n both played their part. Other parties formed from SF that we recognise as fg n ff today but you are rewriting history to suit your political agenda.
Most educated ppl cringe at your type of miseducation.

Most educated people have read a history book, Cormac. Seriously, man. Give it a go.

Cormac do you honestly think that SF in 1916 have any link to modern SF led by Gerry Adams and in existence since 1970? Maybe you should purchase history books outside of the SF shop on Parnell street

Ppl like you, Wayne n David, are trying to rewrite history and attempting to write Sinn Fein outta that history. You can’t do it. I don’t want SF to exclude anyone from the commemoration and I don’t think they will but it’s sickening from the other parties trying to exclude Sinn Fein out of it for their own pathetic political motives.

I prefer Comrade Cormac’s version of history. The Provisional IRA should be remembered for storming the GPO.

Shinner is it not past your bedtime.

Arthur Griffiths espoused dual-monarchy based on the Hungarian model. We didn’t have our own monarch for a start, and SF policy was always separatist in nature.

Cormac, it’s a simple question, do you believe that the original SF founded in 1909 & the one headed by Mr Adams founded in 1970 are the same party. Nobody is rewriting history, sadly there are plenty like you who are happy to ignore historical facts and realises as they do not match with your political version

Wayne sinn fein were founded in 1905 just so you know.

Apologies for the fat fingers Ray, but the original question remains unanswered. Also there is the small matter of the massive ideological shift in the 60′s

Wayne have a read of 1970 where sinn fein stands it might give you an answer.

Yes they are the same party.
There have been plenty of policy changes which is incidental to your question but there is a direct line running from 1905 to 2015 which make the SF party of those two eras the one and same.
Arthur Griffith n JJ Dolan etc may not agree with current SF policies on many things but I doubt WT cosgrave would b too happy with FG pol on lots of things and I’m certain dev would not recognise what the spawn of ff has evolved into, but, they two are the same parties of their predecessors. Ok, cosgrave was c na g but you get the message.

As to your earlier advice to read a history book I’m afraid to inform you I have.
My degree is in history so again your attempt to ridicule my opinion by questioning my intelligence is typical of the the arrogance perpetrated by the hither to behemoths if Irish politics.

Sin Fein have every right to celebrate/ commemorate the rising as much as any party. Pathetic attempts by the likes of you and your ilk to rewrite history for your own gain is further proof if any is needed of the afore mentioned arrogance of which I have become all too accustomed too from the fgff axis.

I’m sure the Sinn Fein LM will do the memory of those who fought in 1916 proud even though ff n FG happily forgot and don’t like being reminded of what they fought FOR.

As far as I remember Eamon Gilmore used to wear an Easter Lilly..

Correct me if I’m wrong but the first to split from Sinn Féin were Cumann na Gael (later combined with the Blueshirt movement to form Fine Gael) followed by Fianna Fáil. Someone can clarify but Sinn Féin then split into official Sinn Féin (later the Workers Party) and the current party known as Sinn Féin. The Irish Republican Socialist Part split from the WP and later became Democratic Left who took over Labour. Is this correct and is it fair to say that all of the political parties share some of the same genealogy?

Cormac. Please. Stop. You’re embarrassing yourself. I’m cringing for you. As is so often the case with Shinners, you seem intent on being opinionated rather than informed. Now down to the library with you.

“Tir Eoghainn- while SF were out holding parades and passing around the Easter Lillies, FG & Labour were too busy sending the Troika home and restoring the nations economic sovereignty. But yeah, parades are nice, like.”
“FG,Labour were too busy oppressing the poorest citizens in Ireland with rotten inequitable charges like the water tax fiasco.”
Parades in 2016 organized by-among others-Sinn Fein, for a constitutional referendum on the right to water, would be highly appropriate.

Ok David.
The SF party of 1905 never fully ceased to exist. It had to lay low for periods of internment carried out by ff govs in the 40s n again in the 50s but it always existed, sometimes under guises in some areas.
This is not an important issue for me but it is important that ppl like you who try to discredit SF by trying to muddy the waters for political gain be exposed as phoneys.
Most parties trace roots to SF.
FG n ff directly.
Modern labour via SF the workers party, then DL to the DL take over of labour.
AAA via association with the workers party n the socialists via mergers with former SF factions.
The greens n PBP don’t have any direct links but I’m sure there has been former SF members in those parties.
To try n deny SF their place in the commemorations is a joke at your own expense.
I’m sure you know that but your hoping there is a few ppl out there that you r trying to influence. Best if luck with your propaganda campaign but I don’t think it’s working.
