An Phoblacht/Republican News (merged series, 1979–1996)

The publication

An Phoblacht/Republican News was created in January 1979 by the merger of the movement’s Dublin and Belfast weeklies, uniting Provisional republican journalism in a single national paper. Published weekly, it normally produced around fifty issues a year, with short breaks at Christmas and in the summer. The years covered by this collection span the most consequential period in the paper’s history: the H-Block protests and the 1981 hunger strike, the rise of the electoral strategy, the 1986 split over abstentionism, Loughgall, Enniskillen and Gibraltar, the broadcasting ban, the secret talks and the Downing Street Declaration, the 1994 cessation, and its breakdown at Canary Wharf in February 1996. The collection deliberately closes at the end of 1996; no further additions are planned beyond that year.

Summary of holdings

The archive holds a complete run of the paper from the first merged issue in January 1979 through December 1987: nine full years, approximately 450 issues, without a gap. This is the single most substantial collection the archive holds, and so far as can be established the most substantial publicly accessible digital run of the paper for this period anywhere. For 1988 to 1996 the archive currently lists over 170 issues online, the fullest publicly accessible run of the paper for that decade.

Holdings by year: the complete run

1979–1987 — Complete: every issue published, approximately 50 per year. Within this run, the 1981 volumes carry the paper’s week-by-week coverage of the hunger strike, and the 1986–1987 volumes cover the abstentionism debate, the Ard Fheis split of November 1986, Loughgall, and Enniskillen.

Holdings by year: 1988–1996

An Phoblacht (Dublin, 1970–1979)

The publication

An Phoblacht, launched in Dublin with its first issue dated 31 January 1970, served as the national organ of the Provisional movement in the years before the merger, publishing monthly before moving to a weekly schedule during 1972–1973. Its pages document the movement’s formative decade: the aftermath of the split, internment, Bloody Sunday, the fall of Stormont, the 1972 and 1975 truces, and the reorganisation that followed. The paper merged with Belfast’s Republican News in January 1979; its continuation is described above. Its Belfast counterpart of the same years is described in the following section.

Republican News (Belfast, 1970–1978)

The publication

Republican News emerged in Belfast in June 1970 as the Provisional movement’s northern paper, initially appearing monthly and irregularly before becoming weekly as the conflict intensified. Together with its Dublin counterpart, described above, it constituted one of the twin pillars of Provisional journalism before the January 1979 merger.

Summary of holdings

Coverage is thin for 1970–1971, strong from 1972, and very strong from 1973 onward, with 1973, 1974 and 1978 approaching complete runs. Also held: two Republican News Bulletin items.

Saoirse – Irish Freedom (Republican Sinn Féin, 1987– )

The publication

Saoirse – Irish Freedom is the monthly newspaper of Republican Sinn Féin and has been the party’s principal voice since 1987. It emerged from the split of 1986, when those who refused to accept the ending of abstention from Leinster House left the Sinn Féin Ard Fheis to form Republican Sinn Féin. The new party’s first publication, the Republican Bulletin, ran from November 1986 until 1987; Saoirse succeeded it in May 1987 and has appeared since. The paper was closely identified with the party’s founding president, Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, and the tribute issue published after his death in 2013 forms the latest item in the collection. This title is one of four distinct publications named Saoirse held in the archive; the others are catalogued separately.

Summary of holdings

The archive holds a substantially complete run from the first issue in May 1987 through December 1994 (an unbroken sequence of 92 monthly issues plus the 1987 Pictorial Review), together with five issues of the Republican Bulletin covering the paper’s pre-history. Holdings from 1995 onward are partial, with strong coverage of 2003–2007 and 2010, and scattered issues thereafter. In total the collection comprises 171 monthly issues, one special, and five issues of the Republican Bulletin.

The United Irishman / An tÉireannach Aontaithe (1948–1969)

The publication

The United Irishman was the monthly organ of Sinn Féin and, for more than two decades before the Troubles, the voice of a movement most of Ireland had written off. First published in May 1948 under Michael Traynor, with Seán G. O’Kelly as its first editor, its editors across the period included Seán Cronin, Seán Ó Brádaigh (1958–1960), Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, Eoin Ó Murchú, Jackie Ward, Seamus Ó Tuathail, Denis Foley, Tony Meade, and, briefly before the split, Éamonn Mac Thomáis. Through the 1950s the paper rallied support for the Border Campaign of 1956–1962; in the 1960s its pages register the movement remaking itself under Cathal Goulding. The paper’s continuation under Official Sinn Féin after the 1970 split is described in the following section.

Summary of holdings

The archive holds approximately 85 issues spanning the paper’s first two decades, beginning with the first issue of May 1948. Coverage is strongest for the Border Campaign’s launch and course (1956–1959) and for the early 1960s, including a complete 1962. The principal absences are 1960, 1965–1966, and the final months of 1969 covering the approach to the split.

The Starry Plough / An Camchéachta (IRSP, 1975–2011)

The publication

The Starry Plough is the newspaper of the Irish Republican Socialist Party, first published in April 1975, a few months after the party’s foundation under Seamus Costello. The run peaks around the 1980–1981 hunger strikes, in which INLA prisoners took part, and resumes strength in the party’s bimonthly relaunch of the early 2000s. This is one of three distinct publications named The Starry Plough held in the archive; the others (the Officials’ Derry paper of the early 1970s and a 1990s Sinn Féin series) are catalogued separately.

Summary of holdings

The archive holds approximately 98 issues, beginning with the paper’s first issue in April 1975 and continuing to January 2011. Coverage is strongest for 1975 (complete from the first issue), 1980–1982 (the hunger strike years), and 2002–2004 (a near-complete bimonthly run).

IRIS (Sinn Féin magazine, 1981–2012)

The publication

IRIS was Sinn Féin’s flagship political magazine, publishing across two distinct eras: an initial run through the 1980s and into 1991, and a relaunch from 2006. Not to be confused with the Irish Republican Information Service, the party’s earlier weekly bulletin of the same name (1973–1980), or IRIS Dhoire, the Derry-specific 1991 title.

Troops Out (Troops Out Movement, 1975–1995)

The publication

The Troops Out Movement, founded in London in 1973 around the twin demands of British withdrawal and self-determination for the Irish people, was the most durable of the British solidarity organisations, and Troops Out was its voice: a monthly magazine carrying the case for withdrawal to a British audience through the hunger strikes, the broadcasting ban and the peace process.

Summary of holdings

The archive holds approximately 100 issues, running from the movement’s early ephemera of 1975 to the ceasefire-era issues of 1995. Coverage is near-complete from 1979 through 1987, thinner for 1988–1990, and scattered thereafter.
