- Earlier this year, VICE News filmed with a republican youth movement in Ireland called Na Fianna Éireann (“Warriors of Ireland” in English), a small group of around 30 boys considered to be hardline dissidents. They support a violent IRA splinter group known as the Continuity IRA, and believe that a renewed armed struggle is needed to free Ireland from British occupation in the North.
Considered “junior terrorists” by some, the Na Fianna sees itself simply as Ireland’s true republican boy scouts, training with the main aim of being ready for a new resistance - a fight that they believe is inevitable.
In this extra scene, VICE News speaks to the former vice president of Republican Sinn Fein, who describes how moving from Na Fianna to the IRA could be considered "a natural progression."

I love how when Americans are discouraged to comment about anything outside Their country then are scene as ignorant because they don't know anything about what's going on around the world, while also every other country is quick to judge America right away go figure
WhiteTuxMafiaAndFilms Holy shit you said scene.
William Python "Their" "scene" ...go figure
who in gods name shaped their berets
Who in god's name cares?
god has nothing to do with it
It's an American thing! The Irish March like Americans and sway more towards the US rather than the UK.
Mike Hunt I know I'm in the defense forces, I was refering to their wreckless headgear xD
I don't think anyone shaped them they prob only have 5 of them and they share but it's ok because when they do there baby killing they wear a balaclava
"If you're lucky enough to be Irish.. then you're lucky enough"
Every Irishman the world around longs for a united Ireland, we all know it must happen for justice to exist on the island. How to get there, is where we disagree.
youngbuck189 No, no they don't.
youngbuck189 I agree with you ~ American Irish
That's a stupid, generalising statement. I'm an Irish 17 year old and I did history for the leaving cert. Fucking no one in the class with half a brain cared about reuniting Ireland. It's a stupid concept.
Evan Young Not a true Irish, or raised without a father
Evan Young Really that's how you feel about them? May I ask how the English aquired Northern Ireland
I support a United Ireland, but I do not support violence.
kingdom7777777 I support a united Ireland under British rule.
kingdom7777777 Ireland unfree shall never be at peace
Ireland has never been united in the first place the closest thing to unity we've ever had was when the Island as a whole was in the United Kingdom.
pkelly345 Dublin
kingdom7777777 how do you think Ireland was divided???
fills me with pride to see the youth keeping the flame of freedom alive 100 years on from our brave martyrs of 1916
they seemed like nice boys to me i wouldn't worry about them too much
Forget the majority, let's do what's best for these selfish few!
dude, a majority of people in NI want to re-join the Republic...
Not sure how I feel about this
If Belfast were to be handed over to Edna kennys regime it'd just be fucking chaos.
What’s the difference between na fianna and dissidents
na fianna is the dissidents youth wing, their 'boy scout' equivalent if you will
What about the the RIRA? Or the RRIRA or the newly formed RRRIRA?
***** I mean, they simply renamed themselves after absorbing other groups, they're still there. "New IRA".
***** You're right because they all joined the RRIRA and the RRIRA is falling apart because of the RRRIRA (really really real Irish Republican Army)
Nessevi The IRA turned into a joke.
***** When you have to put "Real" in your group name you turn into a joke.
@@methodman7876 theres 3 branches now, Continuity, Real, and New
On for freedom, Fianna Eírann!
Fiu sios na fholaiocht na ndaoine a bhi iallach a bogadh ona dtir dhuchais sinsear na hEireann mar gheall ar an ghorta, ta mothu poblachtach i gcuid mhaith casanna, fos laidir in a sliocht i dtaca le ina dtir dhuchais sinsear......."..A amu bhfarraigi fiain, ach fos Ta an fhuil laidir."
Bhearla: ( English): ."...Even down the bloodlines of those who were forced to move from their ancestral homeland of Ireland due to the famine, republican feeling is, in many cases, still strong in the/ their descendants in regard to their ancestral homeland.."
Ireland will be united. And unified.
they would not last a week in the british army wannabes.
Im young and young people scare me
Na Fianna Eireann
From Na Fianna to the IRA to prison or an early grave. Well done lads, you're giving these kids a GREAT future.
good lads - support from Irish the world over - Tiocfaidh ar la , tomorrow is ours
Come out ye black and tans, come out and fight me like a man!
Óró, sé do bheatha bhaile!
@@-jank-willson oro!
Good lads
One day, Eire will be Free and United away from British control...One way or another. I hope its through peace and diplomacy but if not then violence and war will be a necessary evil.
Support the dissidents from Fermanagh
Óró, sé do bheatha bhaile!
the weak way he interviews them. "What do you say about the propaganda" "so called dissidents"..he is so desperate for his interview that he ignores the fact that they don't have a single elected representative on any level in Ireland. They represent .01 percent of the Irish population
They have a Councillor in Connemara. They abstain from Leinster House elections though.
Ireland is a beautiful country with nice people, but every country has their weirdos and extremists.
True, back in the 80's there was a terrorist group in Canada
+GamingCats Lol Quebec says they want to leave Canada.. but they're to pussy to do it
We will never leave our own country u leave
+MrTangolizard What?
Pole
Oh boy I sure do hope the comments won't be a total warzone :D
I support the reunification of Ireland
UP DA RAAAA ALL THE WAY PGLA BELFAST POLEGLASS WEST BELFAST YEOOO

Up the dissidents from Fermanagh
thoroughly stuck in the past and completely confined to the countryside, a long way away from any form of civilised, normal life.
+33LB Most of the people in this video are from Dublin...
+Seán Leahy the suburbs of dublin, i would imagine. no civilised, normal people think like this.
33LB Ah, a snob.
+Seán Leahy looking down on people who paint a romantic picture of ireland's violent past, and have a line of thinking which is completely out of line with the majority of normal, decent people who live on the island of ireland. yeah, so snobby.
33LB Looking down on people from the 'suburbs' you mean.
Oow ahh up the boyos
For god's sake someone give these boys some guns.
Zionism.
Belfast is Ireland Kosovo is Serbia! We will rise again! ✊ 1:07
A bunch of kids made to dress up like glorified boy scouts in sunglasses. The argument was lost a long time ago and has become, or at least should have become, an irrelevance.
