 * Need to bluelink John Joe Rice (16th Dáil - Kerry South) - http://www.anphoblacht.com/news/detail/18550 - An Phoblacht

"I ask you to continue the good work you have started for the realisation of a 32-County Republic and not to be bam-boozled by talk of good times and talk of grants. Organise and stand shoulder to shoulder and stand up for your rights."

"I am not suffering from any swelled head and I know that I did not get those votes as John Joe Rice, but as the standard bearer of Sinn Fein in South Kerry. I believe that the heart of the people of South Kerry is as good today as it was 40 years ago. I believe that the people of South Kerry are staunchly Republican." - United Irishman April 1957 p. 4


 * Need to bluelink Éineachán Ó hAnnluain (16th Dáil - Monaghan) - http://www.anphoblacht.com/news/detail/18559 - ''An Phoblacht

http://www.sinnfein.ie/news/detail/17250 or alternatively, http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/issues/politics/docs/sf/ga010107.htm (same speech by Adams)


 * How to note Anti H-Block party?


 * How to note de Valera and Ó Brádaigh - led splits? Need to bluelink 1970 Sinn Féin Ard Fheis anyways.


 * Need to explain FF suppressing SF 1972-1994 (what was the name of the act? Office of Protection something?)


 * Prisoner status (16th)


 * Maybe have this be simply Sinn Féin elected representatives or Sinn Féin politicans (check to see if there's a precedent already set), and have separate lists for TD's, MP's, MLA's, etc. - can envision the TD list getting long after noting the SF presence in the first few governments
