FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America

2008 Ard Fheis Report

The Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America are pleased
to report that our first Ard Fheis since 1999 successfully occurred in
Kansas City, Missouri on 26-27 March 2008. It was a momentous
occasion for the North American section of the Irish Republican
Socialist Movement, significant not only for the time that had elapsed
since our last Ard Fheis, but also due to the fact that our activists
are spread across a vast geographical area. It also represented the
first Ard Fheis since a major reorganization of the IRSCNA in 2005.
Meeting face-to-face as a group was a positive experience for all present.

Our cumainn representatives came from various locations in North
America--including Chicago, Kansas City and Seattle--bringing with
them diverse experiences and contributions. We would like to thank
everyone that traveled such a distance to be in attendance.

Motions were passed upholding the Irish Republican Socialist Party's
political analysis and program, sending solidarity greetings to our
comrades throughout the world, and other issues of importance to the
IRSCNA were discussed and voted on. More concretely, plans for more
assertive recruitment were discussed. It was also decided that the
Ard Fheis will now be scheduled as an annual event. Most exciting of
all, a monthly IRSCNA newsletter was launched to keep our allies,
members and supporters up-to-date on the Republican Socialist
Movement's news and to promote and broaden support for Republican
Socialism.

Lastly, a new Coordinating Committee comprised of Colm Mist�il,
Danielle Ni Dhighe and T.J. O Conchuir was elected by a vote of the
members present and officer positions were filled with Mist�il as
Webmaster, Ni Dhighe as Public Relations Officer and O Conchuir as
Prisoner Welfare Officer.

The slow but steady growth of the IRSCNA's membership and level of
activity will be sustained by the incoming Coordinating Committee's
efforts to continue to work through collective leadership and regular
meetings.

Is Muidne,

Colm Mist�il colm@irsm.org
