Republican Sinn Féin
Ard Fheis / National Conference
2005
November 12/13
1. That this Ard-Fheis reiterates our support for the all Ireland Republic proclaimed in Easter Week 1916, established in 1919 and betrayed in 1921, and condemns the present process which copper-fastens British rule in Ireland and pledges to continue the struggle to attain that objective.
Go -nathdhearbhaíonn an Ard-Fheis seo a tacaíocht do Phoblacht Uile Éireann a fógraíodh i 1916, a bunaíodh i 1919 agus ar fealladh uirthi i 1921, agus cáinimid an próiséas láithreach a neartaíonn riail Shasana in Éirinn agus leanfaidh muid ar aghaidh leis an gcoimhlint chun an cuspóir a bhaint amach.

2. That this Ard-Fheis recognises the right of the Irish people to use controlled and disciplined force to drive the British forces of occupation out of Ireland and re-establish the All-Ireland Republic.
Glacann an Ard-Fheis seo cearta Gael an lámh láidir a úsáid chun deireadh a chur le fórsaí na Breataine in Éirinn chomh fhad is atá Éire faoi smacht.

3. That this Ard-Fheis pledges the full and active support of Republican Sinn Féin to the beleaguered nationalist community in the Six Counties and also to the various non-national communities who have been subject to a vicious and unrelenting campaign of sectarianism and racism. This campaign has been directed and orchestrated by pro-British elements with, at the very least, the tacit support of the unionist leadership. We note, as Republican Sinn Féin warned at the time, the steady increase of sectarianism since the signing of the Stormont Agreement in 1998. This is a consequence of the reintrenchment of English rule in Ireland.
Go ngeallann an Ard-Fheis seo a tacaíocht gníomhach iomláine do pobal náisiúnach atá faoi léigear sna Sé Chontae agus na pobail éagsúla ó dhuchais eile atá faoi bhrú ag seicteachas is ciníochas gan stad. Tá an feachtas seo faoi stiúradh ag eilimintí atá dílis do Shasana. Is cosúil go nglacann cinnireacht na naondachtóirí leis. Tugadh rabhaidh ag an am go mbeadh méadú seicteachas ó síniú Comhaontú Stormont i 1998. Torthaí riail Shasana níos daingine in Éirinn.

4. That this Ard-Fheis commends and sends its support to the brave men and women who defended the Ardoyne against the British Crown Forces and their cronies when the Brits launched their attack on the nationalist community in Ardoyne during the summer.
Go dtugann an Ard-Fheis seo Beannachtaí dos na feara is mná cróga a sheas an fód i gcoinne Fórsaí Córóin na Breataine agus a íochtaráin nuair a bhí Ard Aidhinn faoi ionsaí ag na Sasanaigh i rith an samhradh.
Cumann Mac Cearnaigh/Mac Eochaidh, Dún Geanainn, Co Tír Eoghain

Cumann Liam Stiobaird/ Seosamh ó Con Midhe, An tIúr/Dún Dealgan
6. That this Ard-Fheis salutes the youth of Occupied Ireland who confront British Crown Forces, particularly those young people who courageously stood their ground against imperialism’s latest recruits, the Provos, on July 12 in Ardoyne.
Go dtugann an Ard-Fheis Beannachtaí don aos óg in Éire forgabháilte as aghaidh a thabhairt ar forsaí coróin na Breataine go mór mhór na daoine óg a sheas an fód go misniúil i goinne na hearcaigh impiriúrachais is déanaí - na Sealadaigh ar bhóthar Ard Aidhinn ar an 12ú de Iúil.
Comhairle Ceantair Chiarraí
7. That in this our centenary year, we the delegates assembled in convention reassert ourselves to be the one true historic Sinn Féin founded in 1905. We who continue to give fealty to the constitution of Sinn Féin declare others who persist in using our historic name and sit in enemy parliaments to be impostors involved in a traitorous conspiracy against the Irish nation.
Agus muid ag ceiliúradh ár gcéad bliain, sinne na toscairí atá bailithe le chéile i gcoinbhinsiún a leanann ar aghaidh go dílis do bun reacht Sinn Féin. Athdhearbaíonn muid a bheith inár fíor Sinn Féin a bunaíodh i 1905. An dream eile atá fós ag úsáid ár n-aimn stairiúl agus a suíonn i bpairlimintí namhaide - fógraíonn muid gur feallairí iad atá páirteach i gcócheilg coiriúil i gcoinne an náisiún Éireannach.

Comhairle Ceantair Chiarraí
9. That this Ard-Fheis calls on the youth of Ireland not to be duped by any of the so-called constitutional nationalist parties nor both the British and 26-County Administrations into joining the RUC/PSNI by believing it is anything other than a British colonial police force. Those who join such a force are collaborating with the British State and are upholding British rule in Ireland.
Gur fórsaí péas cóilíneach na Breataine an RUC/PSNI, mar sin glaonn muid ar aos óg na hÉireann neamhshuim a dhéanamh de na páirtithe naisiúnach mar dhea, na Sasanaigh agus riaracháin na 26 Contae atá ag iarraidh iad a chur isteach sna fórsaí sin. Aon duine atá páirteach sa fórsa sin, té sé/sí ag comhoibriú le riail Shasana in Éirinn.
Comhairle Ceantair Chill Dara
10. That this Ard-Fheis reiterates the view that the only basis for a just and lasting peace in Ireland is to end English rule and the creation of a New Ireland involving all the Irish people.
Athluann an Ard-Fheis sé nach mbeidh buansíocháin ceart in Éirinn go dtí go mbeidh deireadh le riail Shasana agus baint a bheith ag gach duine le Éire nua.
Comhairle Ceantair Chill Dara
11. That this Ard-Fheis commends the people of France and Holland for their decision to reject the EU Constitution despite an overwhelming campaign by both governments, the EU and the mass media. Their actions have at least put a halt to the anti-democratic agenda of the EU’s political elite who are seeking to create a militarised federal super-state.
Go dtugann an Ard-Fheis seo beannachtaí do muintir na Fraince is na hÍsiltíre a dhúiltaigh bunreacht an AE in aineoin feachtas treascrach ó rialtais an dá tír, na Meáin agus an AE. Ar a laghad chuir siad stop leis an próiséas frithdhaonlathach atá ar siúl ag maorlathas an AE agus iad ag iarraidh Ollstát míleata nua a chur ar bun.

13. That this Ard-Fheis applauds those who declared Nl seoiníní sinn go léir (there are no West Brits here) by painting that slogan on the recently-erected statue of the English pirate Francis Drake in Carrigaline, Co Cork last July. The erection of that statue and the participation of 26-County forces in its unveiling as well as the British celebration of the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar are all part of the campaign to normalise the continued British occupation of Ireland.
Agus dealbh tógtha i gcuimhne an píoráid Shasana, Francis Drake i gcontae Corcaigh I Mí Iúil - tugann muid bualadh bos dosna daoine a phéintéil "Ní seoiníní sinn go léir" air. Tá rialtas na 26 Chontae ag iarraidh cur ina luí orainn go bhfuil impiriúlachas na Breataine in Éirinn normálach.
Comhairle Ceantair Chill Dara
14. That this Ard Fheis deplores the involvement of the 26-County Navy in events to commemorate the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar and the unveiling of a monument to the English pirate Francis Drake in Co Cork. We view this as an ongoing campaign to normalise English rule in Ireland by rewriting history.
Go gcáineann an Ard-Fheis seo páirt a dhein cabhlach na 26 Chontae i gcomóradh Cath Trafalgar, agus nochtadh dealbh i gcuimhne píoráid Sasanach Francis Drake.

15. That Republican Sinn Féin shows greater support for the campaign to have the route of the M3 changed from that planned through the historic Tara-Skryne complex to the shorter one south-west of Tara thus avoiding the unnecessary interference with the internationally recognised heritage site.
Go bhfuil an Ard-Fheis seo i gcoinne plean an M3 a chur trí limistéar Teamhrach/Scríne agus go mbeidh feachtas níos daingne againn an bealach sin a aithriú go hiardheisceart na Teamhrach chun an láithreán sin a bhfuil clú idirnáisiúnta air a chosaint.

56. Republican Sinn Féin, as the only political organisation committed to ending English rule in Ireland and to the building of a New Ireland, needs over the coming year to advance our organisation both in terms of membership and the active promotion of our policies amongst the Irish people. To achieve this, basic minimum steps are required of members: (1) to increase the sales of our paper SAOIRSE; (2) stepping up the campaign for political status for Republican prisoners, making it more visible in terms of pickets, demonstrations and publicity; (3) accessing and utilising all forms of technology in terms of phone, fax and email in putting forward the Republican message in the media, in particular local print and broadcast media; (4) more active and visible participation in campaigns such as anti-war, Ros Dumhach Five; and (5) protection of Tara/Skryne valley etc as well as local issues/campaigns.
Agus Sinn Féin Poblachtach mar an t-aon eagras pholaitiúil amháin atá ceangailte le deireadh a chur le riail Shasana in Éirinn agus Éire Nua a chur ar bun, ní foláir dúinn an bhliain seo chugainn chun ár n-eagras a chur chun cinn i dtéarmaí ballraíochta agus ár bpolasaithe a chur os comhar muintir na hÉireann méadú a dhéanamh ar díolachán SAOIRSE, a bheith gníomhach i bhfeachtais ar son na gcimí, Cúigear Ros Dumhach srl. Ba cheart dúinn ’chuile shaghas teicneolaíocht a úsáid.
