Irish nationalists

Sinn Féin supporters historically

Irish nationalists are people who support the political goal of a united, independent Ireland—historically seeking separation from British rule, and in modern contexts, advocating for Northern Ireland to join the Republic of Ireland.

The term encompasses a spectrum from constitutional nationalists pursuing change through democratic means to republican militants who have employed armed struggle.

Irish nationalists have long debated the path to reunification.
