The rise of Sinn Fein, will it be poised to be in the government in the Republic of Ireland after the next election. Comments from D.O'Malley, Pat Ribbite, F.O'Tode and the Minister for Justice, O'Donoghue. Sinn Fein now has four MPs, and two Ministers in the Northern Executive, without discarding the IRA, this programme asks will it be able to do the same in the Republic. ( ... ENTRY TO BE COMPLETED) From the BBC Web site: "After greatly increasing its vote in the general and council elections, Sinn Fein is now the largest nationalist party in Northern Ireland. It has the potential to become the first all-Ireland party with real political power since the Act of Union. It entered government in Northern Ireland without shedding its paramilitary links. So-called punishment beatings are carried out by terrorist groups from both communities but a 40% increase in republican attacks has apparently not affected Sinn Fein's vote. Reporter Mandy McAuley examines Sinn Fein's growing power and how that sits alongside this rising level of violence and intimidation." |
