Seize the Opportunity, Seize the Moment Liam O Ruairc There is general consensus on what the ultimate aim of Irish Republicanism is: the establishment of a sovereign 32 county socialist Republic based on the 1916 Proclamation. However, where there is little agreement as to how this aim is going to be achieved. The Provisional movement argues that the 1998 Good Friday Agreement is the way forward, that it represents the best opportunity to achieve the goals of Irish Republicanism. Republicans of the so-called dissident variety are opposed to this view. They argue that the benefits of the Good Friday Agreement like power sharing and cross border bodies, far from being some stepping stone towards the achievement of the Republic are in fact nothing other than part of the British state's alternative to Republicanism since 1973. If the Good Friday Agreement is to be rejected, what are the alternatives? When thinking of an alternative, I have in mind the kind of strategy which would facilitate the apparition of conditions most opportune to the realisation of the Republican objectives.
