Coalition of Irish Republican Women |
The Coalition of Irish Republican Women was formed in the spring of 2007 in the U.S. Although formed by women, we have many male supporters and do not discriminate on the basis of gender. We support a united, 32-county Irish republic, free from British rule and occupation. Our three core principles are * The British must completely withdraw from Ireland * Ireland must be reunited * All republican political prisoners must be released unconditionally We believe in justice, equality, and peace. However, we know that neither peace nor justice will exist in the six occupied counties until all representatives of the British government leave Ireland and all vestiges of British occupation are expunged. |
In truth what has been achieved is worse than nothing because the forces of constitutional nationalism have once again brokered an agreement which accepts that partition can be legitimately permanent. That agreement was designed to end opposition to British Rule in Ireland. Its aim was to update and normalise British rule and to have Irish men and women administering it. |
