The History of Sinn Féin
One hundred years ago this year, the Sinn Féin Organisation was
formally established at a Convention of the National Council,
held in the Rotunda, Dublin, on November 28, 1905, under the
chairmanship of Edward Martyn. The impact of the British regime
for so long aided and abetted by the so-called ‘National’
education system, based on British Imperialistic ideas, had
practically obliterated the idea of separate nationhood.
