Saoradh has condemned a plan by the Dublin government to outlaw references to members of the IRA using the phrase, Óglaigh na hÉireann. The term translates as Irish Volunteers and is the official term for the 26 County Army.

Last week the Irish people have learned that we cannot talk about the men and women of the Irish Volunteers / Óglaigh na hÉireann /the Irish Republican Army without facing a fine by the fascist FF/FG government. The media covering the story of this word banning, in this case, the term Óglaigh na hÉireann were quiet in what can only be described as an Orwellian like revisionist airbrush of Irish history.
