The Republican Network for Unity (Irish: Poblachtáigh do Aontiú[2][3]) is a small Irish republican political party. It was formed in 2007 in opposition to the Sinn Féin special Ard Fheis's vote of support for the Police Service of Northern Ireland. A number of commentators view RNU as the political wing of Óglaigh na hÉireann,[4] a militant dissident republican paramilitary group. That group committed to a ceasefire in 2017, which RNU supported.[5][6]
