This political party's central committee, or Ard Chomhairle, requires that at least a quarter of its members be female. After a 1969 conference, or Ard Fheis, a Marxist faction of this political party became the Workers Party. This party reached a landmark accord after secret negotiations with John Hume's Social Democratic and Labour Party, and its member Alex Maskey was soon after elected to an important mayoralty. In the 1980s, this party advocated a policy known as "the ballot and the Armalite," which culminated in 1986 when it reversed its policy of not occupying seats won in elections for the Dáil. A member of this party, Martin McGuinness, became the deputy in a power-sharing government headed by Ian Paisley. Named for a passive resistance policy advocated by Arthur Griffith in 1902, this group was decimated in 1926 when Eamon de Valera led most of its members into Fianna Fáil. For 10 points, name this political party led by Gerry Adams which, in the 1990s, agreed to popular sovereignty over the future of Northern Ireland and nominally renounced its ties to the militancy of the IRA.
