Republicans throughout the North have been called on to come out in strength to support the upcoming commemoration of Sinn Féin's one-hundredth birthday in Dublin.
A rally is being organised for September 24th and it is expected people from throughout the island will be converging on Dublin for the carnival event.
The hope is that every town and city in Ireland will be involved and the carnival atmosphere will be in effect with everyone being encouraged to make their own banners and dress up as heroic figures from Ireland's past such as James Connolly and Countess Markievicz.
mittee who are aiming to make this a day to remember with the celebrations both commemorating and celebrating the history of the republican struggle throughout the last century.
One of the local organisers is Caóimhín Mhic Giolla Mhín who said that the celebrations will help boost the party and their aims in this centenary year.
"This promises to be one of the biggest events in the history of Sínn Feín and we hope all republicans will show their support by turning out.
"It is going to be a fantastic day out with hopefully up to 50,000 people converging on Dublin to enjoy the street theatre and pageants that will be organised, while sending the message that it is time to make partition history."
As the centre point of the one hundred year celebration the rally will mark the strides made by Sinn Féin in the last year, something that has seen the party increase its strength, as Caóimhín explains.
"This year because of the celebrations the Sinn Féin website has been inundated with people who want to join the party and help work towards a united Ireland. We have also been engaging with a wide spectrum of people including unionists in debates and various events to mark the centenary.
"There have been road shows going into universities all around Ireland encouraging young people to get involved in the party so it is a very, very proactive campaign and we expect tens of thousands of both old and new members to come out and support the day."
In order to get as many people out to Dublin the Céad Bliain Committee has organised a high profile publicity drive.
"The fact that we are making it locally visual will attract people. There has been a poster campaign which many people will have seen in pubs and the shops and clubs. There are also leaflets going round and we are organising white line publicity drives to tell people what it happening.
"There will be free buses running to Dublin for the day out so I would urge as many people as possible to come and enjoy the day."
