Éirígí
Irish political party / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Éirígí (Irish pronunciation: [ˈeːɾʲiːɟiː]), officially Éirígí For A New Republic, is a socialist republican political party in Ireland.[3] The party name, Éirígí, means "Arise" or "Rise Up" in Irish, and is a reference to the slogan "The great only appear great because we are on our knees. Let us rise!" used by Irish socialists James Connolly and Jim Larkin.[4] Éirígí was formed in 2006 by a group of community and political activists who broke away from Sinn Féin, believing that party was not committed enough to socialism.[1]
