More on Sinn Féin
Description from Wikipedia:
Sinn Féin (IPA: /lang/, ) is a political party in Ireland. The current party, led by Gerry Adams, was formed following a split in January 1970 and traces its origins back to the original Sinn Féin party formed in 1905. It is a major party of Irish republicanism and its political ideology is left wing. The party has historically been associated with the Provisional IRA.
The name is Irish for "ourselves" or "we ourselves", although it is frequently mistranslated as "ourselves alone".
At the European Parliamentary elections 2009, Sinn Fein topped the polls in Northern Ireland , making them Northern Ireland's largest party for the first time . Sinn Féin is currently the second-largest party in the Northern Ireland Assembly, where it has four ministerial posts (including deputy First Minister) in the power-sharing Northern Ireland Executive, and the fifth-largest party in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Oireachtas, the parliament of the Republic of Ireland.
