England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity

"England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity" (Irish: Nuair a bhíonn deacracht ag Sasana, bíonn deis ag Éirinn) is an Irish nationalist phrase which long served as a "rallying cry" for Irish people who desired political independence. It was popular across the political spectrum of Irish nationalism. In 1868, The London Review of Politics described it as "the meaning of Fenianism".
