Irish nationalist party that long was widely regarded as the political wing of the Provisional Irish Republican
Army (IRA), though from at least the 1990s both organisations emphasised their separateness. Organised in
Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, Sinn Féin strives for an end to the political partition of the island of
Ireland, embodying an ideology that is variously characterised as nationalism and Republicanism. Sinn Féin
advocates democratic socialism, but some observers question the accuracy of its frequent portrayal as a party of
the radical left. (Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica)
