The CPGB-ML sends its deep condolences to the Republican movement, the people of Ireland, to our comrades in Sinn Feinn and to the family of Martin McGuiness.

Our comrades have long association with the Irish republican movement and have met with Martin McGuiness, as well as Gerry Adams, on several occasions over the last 30 years. We mourn his loss deeply as a leading anti-imperialist and freedom fighter.

With Marx and Engels, we beleive that the working class of Britain cannot be free while the British Ruling class oppresses other nations, and stand with our republican comrades in demanding the complete freedom and unification of the Irish people and nation.

We recognise with Gerry Adams, the strong contribution made to that end by Martin, as a leading member both of the IRA and Sinn Feinn. It was the armed struggle that created the conditions for the republican community to assert their rights to equality, and earned them a right to take part in the political process. That process remains incomplete, but great strides are being made towards the reunification of Ireland, which we welcome and applaud.

The working class of Britain and Ireland cannot move forward to freedom - emancipation from the rule of the parasitic monopoly capitalist class - until the centuries old question of the oppression and colonisation of the island of Ireland is settled once and for all; until the Irish poeple are fully in control of their own destiny in a united 32 county state, and the British workers are no longer held in thrall by narrow nationalism and jingoism, enlisted into the armed forces of their ruling class and made complicit in the oppression of our brother workers overseas - Irish or any other.
