That the Irish nation has been partitioned by Britain against the will of the overwhelming majority of the people; That the essence of democratic rule is contained in the right of the people to determine its own afairs without outside intereference; That St. Patrick's See at Armagh, his grave at Downparticks and the scenes of his boyhood on Slemish are cut off from the body of Ireland and are in the area occupied by British troops in a flagrant denial of all democratic rights. On this St. Patrick's Day pledge yourself to help to ujdo the dismemberment of St. Patrick's Island. |
