DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Whereas the Irish People is by right a free people: And whereas for seven hundred years the Irish People has never ceased to repudiate and has repeatedly protested in arms against foreign usurpation: And whereas English rule in this country is, and always has been, based upon force and fraud and maintained by military occupation against the declared will of the people: And whereas the Irish Republic was proclaimed in Dublin on Easter Monday, 1916, by the Irish Republican Army, acting on behalf of the Irish People: And whereas the Irish People is resolved to secure and maintain its complete independence in order to promote the common weal, to re-establish justice, to provide for future defence, to ensure peace at home and good will with all nations, and to constitute a national policy based upon the people’s will with equal right and equal opportunity for every citizen: And whereas at the threshold of a new era in history the Irish electorate has in the General Election of December, 1918, seized the first occasion to declare by an overwhelming majority its firm allegiance to the Irish Republic: Now, therefore, we, the elected Representatives of the ancient Irish People in National Parliament assembled, do, in the name of the Irish Nation, ratify the establishment of the Irish Republic and pledge ourselves and our people to make this declaration effective by every means at our command: We ordain that the elected Representatives of the Irish People alone have power to make laws binding on the people of Ireland, and that the Irish Parliament is the only Parliament to which that people will give its allegiance: We solemnly declare foreign government in Ireland to be an invasion of our national right which we will never tolerate, and we demand the evacuation of our country by the English Garrison: We claim for our national independence the recognition and support of every free nation in the world, and we proclaim that independence to be a condition precedent to international peace hereafter: In the name of the Irish People we humbly commit our destiny to Almighty God Who gave our fathers the courage and determination to persevere through long centuries of a ruthless tyranny, and strong in the justice of the cause which they have handed down to us, we ask His Divine blessing on this the last stage of the struggle we have pledged ourselves to carry through to freedom. The Declaration of Independence adopted by Dáil Éireann, Dublin, Ireland, 21st January, 1919.

Forógra Neamhspleáchais De bhrí gur dual do mhuintir na hÉireann bheith ina saornáisiún. Agus de bhrí nár staon muintir na hÉireann riamh le seacht gcéad bliain ó dhiúltú d’ansmacht Gall agus ó chur ina choinne go minic le neart airm. Agus de bhrí nach bhfuil de bhunús agus nach raibh riamh de bhunús le dlí Shasana sa tír seo ach foréigean agus calaois, agus nach bhfuil de thaca leis ach seilbh lucht airm in ainneoin dhearbhthoil mhuintir na hÉireann. Agus de bhrí go ndearna Arm Poblachta na hÉireann Poblacht na hÉireann d’fhorógairt i mBaile Átha Cliath Seachtain na Cásca 1916 ar son mhuintir na hÉireann. Agus de bhrí go bhfuil muintir na hÉireann láncheaptha ar neamhspléachas iomlán a bhaint amach agus a chosaint dóibh fhéin d’fhonn leas an phobail a chur chun cinn, an ceart a athchur ar a bhonnaibh, an tsíocháin in Éirinn agus cairdeas le náisiúin eile a chur in áirithe dhóibh féin agus féineachas náisiúnta a cheapadh a mbeidh toil na ndaoine mar bhunús leis agus cothrom cirt is caoithiúlachta dá bharr ag gach duine in Éirinn. Agus de bhrí go ndearna muintir na hÉireann, agus sinn i mbéal ré nua de stair an domhain, feidhm a bhaint as an Olltoghadh, Mí na Nollag, 1918, chun a dhearbhú de bhreis abhalmhór gur toil leo bheith dílis do Phoblacht na hÉireann. Ar an ábhar sin déanaimidne .i. na teachtaí atá tofa ag muintir na hÉireann agus sinn i nDáil chomhairle i dteannta a chéile, bunú Poblacht a athdheimhniú in ainm náisiún na hÉireann agus sinn féin a chur faoi gheasa an deimhniú seo a chur i bhfeidhm ar gach slí ar ár gcumas. Ordaímid nach bhfuil de chumhacht ag aon duine ach amháin ag na Teachtaí tofa ag muintir na hÉireann dlíthe a dhéanamh ar dual do mhuintir na hÉireann géilleadh dhóibh, agus nach bhfuil de pharlaimint ann a mbeidh an náisiún umhal di ach amháin Dáil Éireann. Dearbhaímid nach bhfulaingeoimid go bráth an cúngas atá dá dhéanamh ag an ansmacht Gallda ar ár gceart náisiúnta agus éilímid ar chamthaí na Sasanach imeacht ar fad as ár dtír. Éilímid ar gach saornáisiún ar domhan neamhspleáchas na hÉireann a admháil agus fógraímid gurb éigean ár neamhspleáchas chun síocháin a chur in áirithe don domhan. In ainm mhuintir na hÉireann cuirimid ár gcinniúint faoi chomairce Dhia na hUile Chumhachta a chuir misneach agus buanseasmhacht in ár sinnsear chun leanúint leo go tréan leis na céadta bliain i gcoinne tíoránachta gan trua gan taise: agus de bhrí gur móide an neart an ceart a bheith againn sa troid a d’fhágadar mar oidhreacht againn, achainímid ar Dhia A bheannacht a bhronnadh orainn i gcomhair an treasa deiridh den chomhrac a bhfuilimid faoi gheasa leanúint dó go dtí go mbainfidh muid amach an tsaoirse. Tá an Forógra Neamhspleáchais arna nglacadh ag Dáil Éireann, Baile Átha Cliath, Éire, 21 Eanáir, 1919.
