Modern Use of The Term
In more recent history, the name Fianna Éireann has been used by a number of Irish Republican organisations. Fianna Fáil ("the Fianna of Ireland"; sometimes rendered "the soldiers of destiny") has been used as a sobriquet for the Irish Volunteers; on the cap badge of the Irish Army; in the opening line of the Irish-language version of the Irish national anthem; and as the name of the Fianna Fáil political party.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or term:
“Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“There are no illegitimate children, only illegitimate parents—if the term is to be used at all.”
