4. Support the motion   Oppose the motion

   While recognising the rights of the Ard Chomhairle to take decisions on a day to day and week to week basis on behalf of the Sinn Fein membership, this Cumann believes that this does not give the Ard Chomhairle the right to take any major decisions without consultation.

5. Support the motion   Oppose the motion

   We believe that the education of our party membership - in political and historical terms - should be given a higher priority, and organised in a more structured way.

   To this end we propose the appointment of an education officer within each Comhairle Ceantair area who can come together on a Cúige or national basis to produce a standard series of education lectures based around the new Sinn Fein Handbook. This course should be implemented on a regular basis for all party members within each Comhairle Ceantair area.

   Barney Boswell Cumann, Newington, Belfast

6. Support the motion   Oppose the motion

   Given the high numbers of new members who joined Sinn Fein in the wake of the 1997 general election (26 Counties) we ask that Sinn Fein recognise the contribution that these people can make and to assist them in fulfiling their potential

7. Support the motion   Oppose the motion

   That each cumann be advised of the details of Cáirde Shinn Fein members in their cumann area. In order that a greater level of local co-operation may be achieved and a more cohesive and effective strategy on both national and local issues can be promoted.

   Louth Comhairle Ceantair

   Every attempt should be made to get AP/RN into at least one shop in every town in the country. AP/RN should employ a sales person for this purpose and a proper follow up service provided

9. Support the motion   Oppose the motion

   That this Ard Fhéis recognises the changing role that AP/RN must play within republican publicity and calls for debate between Sinn Fein and the editorial staff of AP/RN to address the future needs and aspirations of the paper.

   O Malley Russell Cumann

10. Support the motion   Oppose the motion

    That full consultation should take place between candidates and their DOEs before any decision is taken on elections, in order that candidates can properly identify their strongest and most likely areas in which to stand.
