It was now to be formally acknowledged that "the army council was the supreme government of the Republic and the supreme authority in the republican movement" and furthermore that Sinn Féin although an "autonomous and independent organisation" paradoxically had to ensure that its policy coincided at all times with that of the Army Council if it wished to remain a viable part of the republican movement. This definition of the subservient role to be played by Sinn Féin, although it led to some prominent resignations, McLogan and Tony Magan included, was largely representative of the general belief in the republican movement that politics was an alien concept, useful at times, but to be generally regarded with suspicion.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=%27The+Birth+of+the+Provisionals+%E2%80%93+A+Clash+between+Politics+and+Tradition%27+by+Patrick+Ryan+%282001%29&rft.date=2001&rft.aulast=Ryan&rft.aufirst=Patrick&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fcain.ulster.ac.uk%2Fothelem%2Forgan%2Fdocs%2Fryan01.htm&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASinn+F%C3%A9in" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEBourne201846–49-51"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBourne201846–49_51-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBourne201846–49_51-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFBourne2018">Bourne 2018</a>, pp. 46–49.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEPatterson2006180-52"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEPatterson2006180_52-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFPatterson2006">Patterson 2006</a>, p. 180.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEHanleyMillar200970–148-53"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHanleyMillar200970–148_53-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHanleyMillar200970–148_53-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFHanleyMillar2009">Hanley & Millar 2009</a>, pp. 70–148.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEWhite2006119-54"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWhite2006119_54-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFWhite2006">White 2006</a>, p. 119.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEAnderson2002186-55"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEAnderson2002186_55-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFAnderson2002">Anderson 2002</a>, p. 186.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-56"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-56">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Taylor (1998), p. 67</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEWhite201767-57"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWhite201767_57-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFWhite2017">White 2017</a>, p. 67.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-FOOTNOTEMac_Stíofáin1975150-58"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMac_Stíofáin1975150_58-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFMac_Stíofáin1975">Mac Stíofáin 1975</a>, p. 150.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-59"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-59">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="/wiki/J._Bowyer_Bell" title="J.
