SINN FÉIN - KEEP LEFT: No excuses - Dublin Sinn Féin has the chance to lead the way forward for Sinn Féin as a whole


No excuses - Dublin Sinn Féin has the chance to lead the way forward for Sinn Féin as a whole

Some good news this week for Sinn Féin in Dublin. Eoin O Broin has been elected as the new chairperson of the Dublin Sinn Féin Cuige. Now the man who has been one of the main voices for left republicanism within Sinn Féin has been given a position of real power and responsibility and has the chance to really show to everybody that Sinn Féin is a republican socialist party.

In my opinion all left wing republicans within Sinn Féin should redouble their activities over the coming period and give Eoin our full support. Let the left of the party show that the message we have for he people of Ireland is indeed the message the people wish to hear. Let us demonstrate that the republican socialist message has an audience and that the left in Irish politics has the answers to the problems that are faced by Dublin and Ireland as a whole.

Below is an article from An Phoblacht regarding Eoin's appointment.


Ó Broin new Dublin Sinn Féin Chairperson

THE Dublin Sinn Féin Cuige unanimously elected Eoin Ó Broin as their new chairperson last week. The election came following the decision of current chair, Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD, to stand down to focus on his constituency and the forthcoming general election.
The cuige also elected Daithí Doolan as the new education officer.Speaking after the meeting,




Eoin Ó Broin said:



"Dublin Sinn Féin faces big challenges in the time ahead. If we are to meet these challenges, we need to refocus on the core political objectives of our party and develop new strategic direction for the city. We also need to reinvigorate our party organisation.



"Sinn Féin is a republican socialist party. We want an end to partition and the creation of a national democracy based on principles of social and economic justice and political and cultural equality. We want to end poverty, inequality, discrimination and marginalisation in our communities and across the city, to effect change that improves the quality of people’s every day lives.



"To do this, we have to build our political strength organisationally and electorally in every community, ward and constituency in the city. We also need to build and drive an alliance for change, in communities and across the city, to advance our political objectives."

Sinn Féin must once again be embedded in our local communities, the new cuige chair said "empowering people through campaigning on the streets and in the media and through assertive representation in the councils and Leinster House".



He said that Sinn Féin must be the campaigning party, radical and credible, offering local communities a real alternative to the failed politics of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.

I know Eoin well, good luck to him.

I know Eoin well, good luck to him.

Any idea What do you think his priorities will be?

[factual]

Eoin is a principled yet practical person whose appointment to this post is great news for Sinn Féin.

Eoin O' Broin means well, of that I have no doubt, but I don't see how one person, who seems extremely content in the party and not interested on rocking the boat, can change it as much as people claim. The problem with what remains of the left in SF is that they seem to be trying to add herbs to the stew long after it has already been burned. It won't make it any tastier.

[factual]

Eoin has a lot of credibility as a socialist and will be an energising and unifying force as the party attracts new members and activists.

The point and he is not one person but rather he voices the direction that may in the party wish to see Sinn Féin go. that is why he was elected by the members. Dublin Sinn Fein has had a diificult time of late, but I see this move as very positive.

Did he hold any office in SF before this? I thought he would have been in a position like this already.

he as held positions, but none with this type of opportunity to put forward the left's ideas within the party. Have a look below, they are important positions, but without the day to day practical opportunities that being chair of Dublin Sinn Féin will offer

The biggest issue concerning PSF is leadership change. If there is no one to initiate this change in PSF then the present course will remain. O'Broin will not initiate this change no matter how many ideological books he writes.
