An interesting adjective to use of a political party, presumably Ulster Unionisits, who were the first to threaten violence in opposition to Home Rule, are also "militant"? It is also factually incorrect. Daíl Éireann, chaired by Sean T. O’Kelly, included ALL Irish politicians elected in the 1918 GE, although the Unionists and the Irish Parliamentary Party refused to attend. Sinn Féin and the Irish Labour Party TDs met for the very first time at Mansion House in Dublin and, as part of that session, the sovereignty of the Irish Republic was declared. The Daíl (not Sinn Féin) then created the Army of the Republic (IRA) to defend the new republic and this led to the Anglo-Irish War.Richard Frost wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21 2023 10:24am1919 Irish militant nationalist party Sinn Féin creates its own parliament in Dublin and declares Ireland independent of Great Britain, sparking the Irish War of Independence
