James Connolly (1868 - 1916) - Irish nationalist and Labour leader.
His legacy in Ireland is mainly due to his contribution to the nationalist cause and his leftism has been largely overlooked (although there is a present day IRSP which claims his legacy).

 [No title]
Connolly's revolutionary position was incompatible with that of the conservative republican leadership, however, meaning that the expropriation of Connolly's legacy required substantial revision by those who would use his memory as their political tool.
Connolly's alliance with the nationalists was tactical more than philosophical, and from that point on he "operated as an adviser to the republicans rather than challenging their tradition in its entirety."15 He did his best to bring them around to his way of thinking, to infuse their already radical ideology with elements of socialism.
For all Connolly tried, he was unable to alter the mainstream ideological position within Irish republican politics, and neither he nor Pearse reflected the position of most of their republican colleagues.
