“What The Proclamation Means To Me”

“What The Proclamation Means To Me”

As part of its “Reclaim the Republic/Athshealbhaígí an Phoblacht” campaign éirígí has asked a number of individuals to contribute to a collection of writings on the theme of “What The Proclamation Means To Me”. The contributors come from a variety of backgrounds including the Arts, Journalism, Trade Unionism, Political and Community Activism.

Individuals are also invited to submit their views on what The 1916 Proclamation means to them by emailing a short written piece (preferably no more then 500 words) to whattheproclamationmeanstome@eirigi.org

éirígí hopes that this element of the campaign will add further to the debate on how the Ireland of today compares to the Ireland envisioned in 1916 and encourage individuals to become active in demanding an Ireland that truly “cherishes all the children of the nation equally”.

It should be noted that the views contained in the contributions below are the personal opinions of the writers or, in some cases, the organisations which they represent and do not necessarily represent the views of éirígí.
