Always remember the origins of Fianna Fáil

AS there would seem to be some confusion, and not a few mischievous observations, regarding the fate of Fianna Fáil, may I inform the knowledgeable correspondents who would seem to have such a reservoir of knowledge and destiny for where the party is going.

Fianna Fáil was once described by the late Sean Lemass as a “slightly constitutional” party and it is as a member, and with this very much in mind, that I define my republicanism.

Eamon de Valera undertook to spell out at every opportunity the evils of partition and the entrenchment of the British to legitimate Irish nationhood. Now, more than ever, our dictum should be united we stand, divided we fall.
