éirígí ((:ˈeːɾʲiːɟiː) or (:ˈaɪɾʲiːɟiː)) is a socialist republican political party in Ireland, registered since 2010 to contest local elections only.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clár na bPáirtithe Polaitíochta – Register of Political Parties – 23 March 2010 )〕 The party name, "éirígí", means "arise" in the second person plural imperative in Irish, a reference to a famous speech by trade union leader James Larkin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bomb alert and protest mar royal visit )〕 It gained its first local councillors in 2009, when two former Sinn Féin councillors, Dungannon councillor Barry Monteith and Dublin City Councillor Louise Minihan, joined the organisation.〔(Irish News 1 August 2009 )〕 Former Wexford county councillor for Sinn Féin and New Ross town councillor John Dwyer also joined éirígí. It failed to win any seats in the 2014 local elections, leaving it without elected representation. In early 2014 one of its members, Ursula Shannon, was convicted and sentenced to six years imprisonment after being charged under anti-terrorism legislation for possessing weapons and ammunition. ==History== éirígí was formed by a small group of former Sinn Féin activists in Dublin on 24 April 2006, shortly before the 90th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising, as a political campaigns group. On 12 May 2007, at the party's first Ardfheis (conference), its members voted to become a full-fledged political party, and at its 2009 conference passed a motion to register as a political party in the Republic of Ireland. The party has become known for the use of nonviolent direct action and regular protests in Belfast,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dissidents linked to parade halt )〕 Dublin,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Protestors invade Anglo-Irish HQ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anti-austerity protesters chant insults at Irish minister Pat Rabbitte )〕 and elsewhere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Video: Eirigi among protestors in Enniskillen )〕 The party stood for election in Northern Ireland for the first time in the 2011 local elections, citing dissatisfaction with Sinn Féin's involvement in the Northern Ireland Executive, and claiming there was "a real appetite for a radical voice" in Northern Irish politics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eirigi to stand in NI elections )〕 It has never, however, stood for election to the Northern Ireland Assembly. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Éirígí」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
