Misneach

Misneach is an Irish-language political advocacy group and campaign platform. It is described as a left-wing Irish-language advocacy group and operates primarily through its website, misneachabu.ie, which publishes news, historical articles, activism updates, and analysis in Irish. The site presents the group's core framing as 'Cearta Teanga – Cearta Daonna' (Language Rights – Human Rights) and solicits donations to support its work. The original Misneach was founded by Máirtín Ó Cadhain and focused firmly on the revival of the Irish language. Its early members included Máirtín Ó Cadhain, Deasún Breatnach, Cian Ó hEighartaigh, Séamus Ó Tuathail, Prancesias Nic White, Séamus Ruiséal, Eoin Ó Murchú, Micheál Mac Aonghusa, and Seán Ó Beacháin. The group was prompted in part by the lecture 'Tynged yr Iaith' ('The Fate of the Language'), which was translated into Irish. The group organised an eight-day hunger strike during the fiftieth anniversary of the Easter Rising, claiming that the state had made concessions on Irish-language and Gaeltacht matters. Participants included Deasún Breatnach, Cian Ó hÉigartaigh, Séamus Ó Tuathail, Proinsias Nic Uait, Séamus Ruiséal, Seán Ó Beacháin, Micheál Mac Aonghusa, Eoin Ó Murchú, Seán Ó Laighin, and Fiachra Ó Dubhthaigh. Six people from Belfast also took part in the same campaign at Cumann Cloinard: Séamus Mac Seán, Tomás Ó Monacháin, Brian Ó Maileoin, Caoimhín Ó Loingsigh, Tomas Ó Duibhir, and Donnchadh Ua Bruadair. The group published a pamphlet on Irish-language politics, 'Gluaiseacht na Gaeilge, Gluaiseacht ar strae', based on a speech delivered by Máirtín Ó Cadhain in August 1969. In that speech he told Irish speakers to take part in the 'Reconquest of Ireland'. In 2012 it was announced that a new group would be formed under the same title, and that this group had received permission from members of the original Misneach to use the name. The revived group takes a 'radical' stance on the Irish language. It continues to publish material through its website and positions itself within the broader Irish-language movement alongside groups such as Gluaiseacht Chearta Sibhialta na Gaeltachta and Conradh na Gaeilge.
