	Sinn Féin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sinn Féin (pronounced /ʃɪn feɪn/ in English, /ʃiːɲ fʲeːnʲ/ in Irish) is a name used by a series of Irish political movements of the 20th century, each of which claimed sole descent from the original party established by Arthur Griffith in 1905.
		Sinn Féin won 73 of Ireland's 106 seats in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland parliament at the general election in December 1918 and many of the seats it won were uncontested.
		Sinn Féin is the largest group in the Republican wing of Irish nationalism and is closely associated with the Provisional IRA.

	Official Sinn Féin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Official Sinn Féin (later renamed "Sinn Féin the Workers Party") was a Marxist Irish republican political party which evolved from the split in Sinn Féin and the IRA that took place in 1970.
		The leadership of both Sinn Féin and the IRA had developed a Marxist outlook that became unpopular with many more traditionalist republicans, and the party/army leadership was criticized for failing to defend northern Catholic enclaves from loyalist attacks.
		Provisional Sinn Féin, the other party to emerge from the 1970 split, is the party that is now commonly referred to simply as Sinn Féin.

	Sinn Féin - ninemsn Encarta
		Sinn Féin had no official connection with the violence of the 1916 rising, but in the aftermath it was associated with the event by the press.
		Sinn Féin's growth and popularity was further enhanced by the British threat in 1917-1918 to introduce conscription to Ireland in support of its war effort against Germany.
		Provisional Sinn Féin's role was enhanced by the 1981 hunger strikes in Northern Ireland which ushered in a new policy of “the ballot box and the Armalite”, or in other words a strategy of a joint military and political campaign.

	OUT OF THE ASHES '69 :: SAY HELLO TO THE PROVOS
		The Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) is a paramilitary group which aimed, through the use of violence, to achieve three goals: (i) British withdrawal from Ireland, (ii) the political unification of Ireland through the merger of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and (iii) the creation of an all-Ireland socialist republic.
		The Provisional IRA was formed in 1969, with the stated aim of severing the political Union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and achieving the unification of the island of Ireland by force, in order to create a socialist republic.
		The Provisional IRA was initially a splinter group of the 'Official' IRA, which claimed descent from the Old IRA: the guerrilla army of the 1919-1922 Irish Republic.

	The Irish Republican Socialist Movement - 20 Years of Struggle
		Following the departure of the Provisionals, a section of the Officials' leadership used bureaucratic manipulation and subterfuge to cripple internal democracy, thereby permitting them to push through a ceasefire in mid-1972 and to steer a course towards political reformism.
		This included the refusal to share a platform with the IRSP, eventually leading Sinn Fein to launch a counter-demonstration against the long established Manchester Martyrs Commemoration, and to exclude the IRSM from a 10th anniversary commemoration of the 1981 hunger strike in which three of the ten who died were INLA members.

	100 Years of Sinn Fein — Part 6
		The perceived failure of the Goulding leadership to give due prioritisation to the IRA and its military requirements were held to flow from its ‘extreme’ socialism which resulted in the ‘incomprehensible’ policy of campaigning in favour of retaining Stormont and the undemocratic measures taken against those in the movement who opposed it.
		However the five reasons given for the birth of the Provisionals are all entirely consistent with the Irish Republican tradition as life was breathed into it by the sectarianism of the Northern State and the policies of the British.
		While a Provisional IRA was born there was barely a Provisional Sinn Fein, which wasn’t legalised by the British until 1974.
