INC petition launched
The Irish National Congress has launched a petition to
defend Articles Two and Three against any dilution or
alterations to be proposed by the 26 county government.
The wording of the petition is as follows:
The Irish National Congress is concerned that the very
people that will be most affected by any possible
change to Articles 2 and 3 of the Irish constitution,
namely northern nationalists, will be unable to express
their opinion on the matter in any referendum in the
south. This is because partition continues to frustrate
their full participation in Irish democracy.
In an attempt to redress this democratic deficit, the
INC has launched this petition to give a voice to those
who will have no other opportunity to influence a
process that will have profound implications for their
future.
We, the undersigned, recognise that Articles 2 and 3
are of fundamental importance in defining the Irish
nation and in safeguarding the right of all Irish
people to be part of that historic nation.
We call on the Irish government to ensure that, any
constitutional changes proposed, in the context of an
overall settlement, will not represent, in any form
whatsoever, any dilution of Irish Sovereignty, as
expressed in Articles 2 and 3.
For information call: Dublin 821-0493/820-2019/452-6050
