Saoradh
Saoradh (Irish: [ˈsˠiːɾˠə], "Liberation") is a far-left political party and pressure group formed by dissident Irish republicans in 2016. It is active in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Police Service of Northern Ireland and independent commentators describe the party as being close with the New IRA, although Saoradh themselves deny this.
The party was founded in 2016 by former members of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement, Republican Sinn Féin, the Irish Republican Socialist Party and others.
The 12 person national executive of the party sat at the top table under a banner of the signatories of the 1916 Proclamation, which was composed of republican activists, including:
A third of the executive was female, while out of all 150 in attendance, men outnumbered women 10 to 1.
A message of support from veteran republican leader Billy McKee was read out and a statement from New IRA prisoners expressing their support for the party was read out by Thomas Ashe Mellon.
David Jordan said being elected chairman of the party was "humbling, daunting, intimidating yet empowering". Chair of the Association of Palestinian Communities in Scotland (APCS), Issam Hijjawi, also spoke.
On the same day Saoradh issued the following press release:
Today, Saturday the 24th of September 2016, we a significant collective of Irish Republican activists, who for a number of years have acted autonomously, have after a number of years of debate, consultation and organisation today in Ard Fheis organised, constituted and launched a Revolutionary Irish Republican Party, the Party's name is Saoradh.
