Sinn Féin (Gardiner Place)
- Sinn Féin (Gardiner Place)
Sinn Féin (Gardiner Place) was a name sometimes used by Official Sinn Féin in the Republic of Ireland in the early to mid 1970s. It used the name of the location of its headquarters to distinguish itself from the rival offshoot of Sinn Féin, called in the period Provisional Sinn Féin or Sinn Féin (Kevin Street).
For traditional Irish republicans, the mention of the Gardiner Place headquarters carried symbolic power, because the Gardiner Place headquarters had been the headquarters of Sinn Féin for decades prior to the 1970 split. It carried a symbolic implication that Official Sinn Féin was the legitimate Sinn Féin party as it still owned longstanding Sinn Féin property.
The name died out from usage in the mid 1970s.
