Sinn Fein Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57 PM From: Friends of Sinn Fein <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2019 2:57 PM Subject: Mary Lou McDonald speech at 2019 FOSF November Dinner Friends Sinn On Thursday, November 7th, 2019 Mary Lou McDonald, President of Sinn Fein addressed Irish America and all the friends of Sinn Fein at the Sheraton Hotel in New York City. The evening was hosted by Friends of Sinn Fein President Mark Guilfoyle. Mark introduced guest speaker Jim Donaghy who spoke and then introduced Mary Lou McDonald. Mary Lou's speech is below. "It is an honor to be here tonight, to meet up with old friends and to make new ones. l Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57 PM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57 PM Tonight is only made possible by the dedication and commitment of the organizing committee. A group drawn together with heritage from all four comers of Ireland. My sincere thanks to the committee for all their work and for you coming tonight to support the work of Sinn Fein. America has always been a friend of Ireland, bonds of kinship and friendship bind us together. This is a very precious thing. It grows and it endures. I want to reflect on the passing of two of our dear friends this year. Gene McCarthy was a quiet, unassuming man. His parents came from Kerry and Gene was bom here. His care and concern for the lives and wellbeing of the Irish American community in New York touched many lives. He will be sadly missed by us all here tonight. Our condolences to his wife Sheila and family. Cormach Murrihey whose death was also a particular loss. He was of a new young generation of Irish entrepreneurs who came to America and prospered here. He brought his great drive and determination to Friends of Sinn Fein. He was a member of this dinner committee and a major contributor in the last few years. Cormach was a committed republican, a passionate GAA man and a loyal friend. Most of all he was a loving husband to Vivienne and father to, Cian and Caoimhe. I would like to acknowledge Vivienne who is here with us tonight and express our condolences for her loss. Loss and renewal all parts of our lives. Sinn Fein in North America is also a point of renewal. For twenty years Rita O’Hare has represented Sinn Fein in the US and in Canada. Many in this room know her or know off her. 2 Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57PM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57 PM She has led from the front; she has been a great ambassador for Sinn Fein and for a united Ireland. Her legacy can be seen in this room and across the US. The progress that we have achieved in the US is down to the leadership of Rita O’Hare. The depth and breadth of our support base, the continuity of support and the encouragement of a new generation is testament to tenacity of one woman. It is a legacy that she is handing on to Ciaran Quinn. I am sure that you will be all as welcoming and accommodating of Ciaran has you have been with Rita. Twenty five years ago, this month, Friends of Simi Fein was formed. Ireland was a different place then. Our conflict, our struggle and our loss were daily played out in the streets of the north and on TV screens across the world. That year Irish America campaigned for a visa for Gerry Adams, there was opposition from British Government and the State Department. But the people in this room and others refused to take no for an answer. President Clinton to his credit granted the visa. Gerry Adams made that historic and faithful journey to brief Irish America and political leaders on the potential for peace. Within a few months the IRA ceasefire was called, and the peace process was bom. It was a watershed moment. A moment of change. A moment of history. Irish America made the call for a peace envoy to the North. Against opposition, George Mitchell was appointed, the Good Friday Agreement was signed and endorsed by the majority of Citizens, North and South. The success of the peace process is a land achievement, in Irish History but also in world politics. Its significance should not be underestimated. And the contribution of America cannot be overstated. 3 Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57 PM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57 PM Irish America continues to play a decisive role in the politics of Ireland. The politics of Brexit bears this out. Brexit is the brainchild of English Nationalist who yearn for their empire. They cannot accept that the days of empire and dominance are gone. Over. Done. If they want to leave the EU who are we to stop them. The fate of England is in the hands of the of the English and their Parliament, but the fate of Ireland cannot rest in their hands. Ireland cannot and will not be the collateral damage of their Brexit. Brexit is a constitutional earthquake. It undermines the Good Friday Agreement. It puts our economic stability, our prosperity and our progress in great jeopardy. And be clear our progress has been great, transformational, and we will defend it. Twenty five years ago the border roads and crossings in Ireland were opened in many cases by ordinary people and communities. They tore down the barriers with their bare hands. We will not accept, we will never accept, a border and division on oiu* island again. We want to end the border, to remove it forever. To replace division with unity. To make peace permanent and justice and equality the right of all. I want, to recognise and appreciate the leadership of Nancy Pelosi, Richard Neal, Eliot Engel, Peter King, and Tom Souzzi and many more in standing with us, at this time, in defense of the Good Friday Agreement. The relationship between Ireland and American is not manufactured. It not a short-term strategic alliance. It is real. It is lasting. It is formed in common struggle and shared heritage. It is about family and nationhood. British imperialism forced generations of Irish people off the land and onto the coffin ships. 4 Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57 PM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57 PM Starvation, conflict and hardship broke up families. Some were exiled for their role in our liberation struggle. Emigration was not a choice, emigration was a necessity. Emigration was survival. Generations were also failed by Irish governments. That is a greater and a deeper shame. Once in America, they seized the opportunity to build new lives. This nation was built on the labour of many and the labor of the Irish in particular. Their needs were modest. A home and wage to provide for their families. All shared the dream of building a better life for their children. Their children prospered and can be found across America, in every walk of life and in every community, thankful for the sacrifices of earlier generations and for the life they now enjoy. We are proud of the Irish in America. We are proud of who you are. This room echoes with history, shared stories of home, of hardship, of joy and a commitment to do the right thing by Ireland. The ache of leaving and the thirst for justice. This has been true throughout the years. Irish America played a central role in all phases'of republican struggle. The Fenians, Clann na Geal, the Irish Republican Brotherhood and Irish Northern Aid. Our exiled children in America have stood by the republic. Friends of Sinn Fein, we are entering a new phase in our history. As part of the Good Friday Agreement, Sinn Fein negotiators, led by Martin McGuinness, secured a democratic pathway to Irish unity. A unity referendum. The very basis of the Northern state and partition is gone. The trend is clear. A new and united Ireland is emerging. 5 Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57 PM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 11/12/2019 2:57 PM I say this not in triumph: but simply as a matter of fact. I appeal to all in this room to continue to stand by the Republic. To meet the opportunity before us. The opportunity to build an Ireland, united and free. To ensure that America is again a force for unity and peace as we navigate the time ahead. In the coming months we face general elections in the North and South. It is an opportunity to say again to British Government your time is over. We will not attend a British parliament at Westminster. We will not take an oath to any Queen. We are not subjects. We are free citizens. We are proud Irish Republicans; our loyalty is to the people of Ireland. To the Irish Nation at home and abroad. It is also an opportunity to say to the Irish Government you can no longer stand idly by. Now is the time to plan for unity and to build the republic. It is the responsibility and the imperative for any Irish Government. A republic that is peaceful and prosperous.

Mike’s vast knowledge of Irish history and sporting history, and his ability to see history through many different perspectives were instrumental in shaping the thesis as far more than a sports history one. It was through conversations with Mike that the concept of looking at partition from many different viewpoints arose.

Fitzpatrick 2013 Abstract There is perhaps no more interesting and complex relationship between states than that of Ireland and the United Kingdom – a matter made all the more complicated by their disagreements during the Second World War. The objective of this thesis was to determine whether Ireland’s policy in the war could accurately be described as neutral and what effects this policy had on Anglo-Irish relations. In order to address these questions, this work studies contemporary government documents, media reporting, and personal correspondence, as well as considering pre-existing scholarship on the matter. The principal conclusion of this work was that Ireland substantially aided the Allied war effort, and that its policies during the conflict did not have any lasting negative implications for the state’s relationship with the United Kingdom.

  • The Politics of Conflict and Transformation: Northern Ireland in Comparative Perspective, a Conference Celebrating the Work of Prof Jennifer Todd
    The Politics of Conflict and Transformation: Northern Ireland in Comparative Perspective, a conference celebrating the work of Prof Jennifer Todd Panel I: The Dynamics of Conflict on the Island of Ireland, North and South (Chair, Karen Trew, QUB) Is a Middle Force Emerging in Northern Ireland?: John Coakley, QUB Analysis of the flow of demographic trends and the evolution of political forces in Northern Ireland has for long had a predominantly binary focus. There are numerous studies of the fall and rise of nationalism and of the rise and fall of unionism, based on a sometimes explicit but more often unspoken discourse of competition between two communities. This paper considers an issue in relation to which a much smaller literature has appeared: the steady growth of a kind of middle ground. This is made up variously of those who were born outside Northern Ireland, or who have exited from affiliation to the two dominant communities, or perhaps never belonged to either; of those who do not identify unambiguously as British or as Irish, but rather report a dual or alternative identity; of those who describe themselves as neither unionist nor nationalist; and of those who vote for neither of the two large communal blocs. Using census and survey data, the paper will seek to track the evolution of this expanding section of the population, and will seek to assess its implications for party support and for the future constitutional path of Northern Ireland. The Politics of Multiple Majorities in Northern Ireland: Niall Ó Dochartaigh, NUI Galway Northern Ireland now has multiple cross-cutting majorities rather than one dominant political majority for the first time since its foundation almost 100 years ago.
