Description

During the second day of the Sinn Féin (SF) Ard Fheis in Dublin, a majority of delegates voted to end the party's policy of abstentionism (that of refusing to take seats in Dáil Éireann). The change in policy led to a split in SF and Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, a former President of SF, Dáithí Ó Conaill, a former vice-President of SF, and approximately 100 people staged a walk-out. Ó Brádaigh and Ó Conaill went on to establish a new organisation called Republican Sinn Féin (RSF).
