“Newtownhamilton Sectarian Graffiti is Antithetical to Republicanism” – Connolly

Aontú Armagh Representative Daniel Connolly has condemned sectarian graffiti in Newtownhamilton.

Speaking today, Mr Connolly said “The Newtownhamilton graffiti is absolutely disgusting. This dark display of sectarian hatred has no place in modern society. It’s completely divorced from the meaning of republicanism, which Protestants have always played a prominent part in.”

Mr Connolly continued “Over the past few years we’ve seen great strides in reconciliation and cross-community solidarity. The people of the North are almost unanimously united in their support of this. This horrendous display of hatred is abhorrent to true republicanism”

“In Aontú, we continue to believe in and promote a Republicanism based on the ideals of Tone. A Republicanism that unites us rather than divides us. A republicanism for Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter.” Mr Connelly concluded

CRÍOCH

The Irish political system is radically broken



In Ireland the vast majority of elected representatives put a finger in the air to check which way the political wind is blowing. They have one eye on their leaders – seeking brownie points – and another eye keeping their seat safe. If elected reps shut up and do as they’re told, they are promoted; if they stand up for what they believe in, they are demoted. No wonder we have the political class we have. No wonder one point one billion euro is being buried in a hole under the National Children’s Hospital and that Stormont is in stalemate.



Throughout Ireland, many people are now afraid to say what they feel, many are afraid to respectfully engage on a range of different topics. Many feel there is a new censorship and a new political correctness in Ireland, that opposition to the establishment is being deleted.



Respectful opposition is not the enemy. Respectful opposition is a critical element of a functional democracy. Aontú will have the backbone to stand up, without fear, for you.
