It must be the Irish Republican Phoenix. Introduced by the Phoenix National and Literary Society in 1856, "the word Phoenix signifying that the Irish cause was again to rise from the ashes of our martyred nationality". The group's aim was to bring intellectuals into the Irish republican movement and encourage a revival of Gaelic customs and culture, ultimately leading to the overthrow of the English occupation. They were suppressed for sedition in 1859 and rounded up, but they directly influenced the Uprising in 1916 and the phoenix was later resurrected and taken up again by the IRA during the Troubles. Éire Abú!
