Excerpt from the Republican Sinn FÃ ©in Web Site (
http://www.rsf.ie/ ):
"Republican Sinn FÃ ©in is internationalist. We have a sense that
we all have a common identity as human beings, as members of the
great family of peoples. We wish to play our role in this wider
world community on the basis of equality and respect for the
rights of others. In particular, we would wish to eliminate the
kinds of international trade and international debt that
impoverish the peoples of the Third World. We advocate
neutrality in respect to military alliances and power blocs and
we feel a sense of solidarity with all peoples who are
struggling for freedom and justice."
The Father of Irish Republicanism ...
Theobald Wolfe Tone (1763 - 1798), who died by his own hand in a
Dublin jail after being refused a "soldier's execution", is
widely regarded as the "father of Irish republicanism". He was a
lawyer and a leading member of the group of aristocrats who
vigorously supported the Irish independence movement known as
"The United Irishmen". The aristocrats in question included the
English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who, in addition to now being
widely considered one of the very best lyric poets of the
English language, was closely associated with contemporaries
Lord Byron and John Keats, in addition to being an enthusiastic
supporter of contemporary "United Irishman" journalist Peter
Finnerty who came from Loughrea in County Galway, and who also
"did time" in "English jails". Percy Bysshe Shelley also became
the idol of a number of other famous poets including Alfred Lord
Tennyson and William Butler Yeats.
