Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin speech at Oireachtas commemoration

Sinn Féin Dáil leader Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin speaking at the First Dáil Éireann Commemoration organised by the Houses of the Oireachtas in the Round Room of the Mansion House Tuesday January 20th, 2009.

Sinn Féin Dáil leader Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin TD said that the work of the First Dáil remains unfinished and that there was a mandate to bring about a United Ireland. He said the First Dáil’s Democratic Programme had not been implemented and that no Government committed to the Programme’s principles of equality could preside over the divisions in Irish society today.
