Independent Republican (Ireland)

Independent Republican (Irish: Poblachtach Daonlathach) was a political title sometimes used by Irish republicans when contesting elections[1] in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

For other uses, see Independent Republican (disambiguation).

In the main, but certainly not always, Independent Republican candidates were members of Sinn Féin or the Irish Republican Army. In times when these organizations were proscribed or when they refused to register as political parties, the label "Independent Republican" was used.
