Republican Sinn Féin will actively oppose visit of British Queen

Statement by Kildare Republican Sinn Féin

In a statement Kildare Republican Sinn Féin said they would actively oppose the upcoming visit by the Queen of England to the 26-County State and in particular the proposed visit to the National Stud in Co Kildare

“This visit is part of a carefully orchestrated campaign to normalise British rule and the enforced partition of Ireland. Irish Republicans will actively oppose this visit in order to send out the clear message that British rule and the partition of Ireland will never be either normal or acceptable. Kildare Republican Sinn Féin will play our part in this nationwide campaign and will take the lead in opposing this visit to Co Kildare.

“The head of the British State will never be welcome in any part of Ireland so long as that state continues to occupy part of Ireland.

“As part of the campaign we will be joining with the Myles Shevlin/Tony Ruane Cumann of Republican Sinn Féin in Carlow on Saturday April 9 for a protest to highlight opposition to this parade of pomp and imperialism. The protest will take place in at the Liberty Tree 1798 monument in the Haymarket from 1pm to 2.pm.”
