Such a scheme.. the betrayal of the national democracy of Industrial Ulster, would mean a carnival of reaction both North and South, would set back the wheels of progress, would destroy the oncoming unity of the Irish labour movement and paralyse all advanced movements while it lasted.

The great appear great to us.

There can be no perfect Europe in which Ireland is denied even the least of its national rights.

If you remove the English army to-morrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain.

I can always guarantee that the Irish Citizen Army will fight but I cannot guarantee that it will be on time

The British Government has no right in Ireland, never had any right in Ireland, and never can have any right in Ireland.

The Irish Republic must be made a word to conjure with - a rallying point for the disaffected, a haven for the oppressed, a point of departure for the socialist, enthusiastic in the cause of human freedom.
