Saoradh (Irish: [ˈsˠiːɾˠə], "Liberation") is a far-left political party and pressure group[10] formed by dissident Irish republicans in 2016. It is active in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Police Service of Northern Ireland and independent commentators describe the party as being close with the New IRA, although Saoradh themselves deny this.[11]
