	Seamus Costello
		Costello subsequently "devoured" newspapers, according to his family and at the age of 15, on one of his many visits to Croke Park, he bought a copy of the United Irishman and immediately applied to join the Republican Movement.
		Costello, unlike many of the other leaders in the Republican Movement, was willing to accept changing situations and adapt, rather than insist that the struggle must be confined to a pre-laid pattern irrespective of the realities and holding back the struggle for national liberation.
		Costello knew he was finished with the Officials and stood as an Independent Sinn Fein Candidate as he began to organise the setting up of a new party that would entwine the class question and national question as one struggle.

		In contrast to Connolly, whose background was the workers movement, Costello came from the conspiratorial politics of the "secret army", understood their limits, and developed a strategy to reconstruct them on a left-wing basis.
		Born in 1939, Seamus Costello applied to join the IRA aged 16, and became the commander of an ASU in South Derry during the border campaign.
		Costello recognised that armed struggle on its own could not succeed, it needed to be grounded on a mass movement and collaborate with other progressive organisations.

		The founders were Seamus Costello and other activists who had left or been forced out of the Official IRA in the wake of the OIRA's 1972 ceasefire and the increasingly reformist approach of Official Sinn Fein.
		Costello espoused a mixture of traditional republican militarism and Marxist-oriented politics.
		In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the INLA developed a modest organisation in the north of Ireland, particularly based around Divis Flats in West Belfast, which as a result became colloquially known as, "the planet of the Irps" (a reference to the IRSP and the film The Planet of the Apes).

		Seamus Costello - a domineering cult figure - pushed, cajoled, argued and articulated the immediate creation and building of a revolutionary party, meaning the majority of the movement's finance, resources and energy would be directed away from the army.
		Seamus Costello's plans to build a revolutionary party were reversed and it was demanded that the army should receive immediate priority, i.e., finance, resources, etc. From the outset, this whole argument was seriously flawed, the flaw being a structural one.
		Seamus Costello had been the architect of what he perceived would be the creation and building of a revolutionary ideologically sound movement.

		Whether with the party or the army, Costello was committed to the Connolly position on the relation between the national question and the class
		The problem was that Costello elevated the tactic of the Broad Front to the level of a strategy.
		There was a problem of priorities because in effect, the IRSP tended to subordinate the development of the party to the construction of the Broad Front, and was willing to submerge its particular political outlook in a Broad Front (see for instance the experience of the Irish Front in Derry in 1977-78).

	Jazzing with Elvis Costello - (review of Elvis Costello and the Mingus Orchestra)
		The late bassist and composer, matching the compositional elegance of Duke Ellington with the fervor of Charlie Parker and the spiritual hunger of John Coltrane, is a typically gutsy choice for Costello.
		Costello is a more compatible match for Mingus, and the two-hour program mixed Mingus compositions (with lyrics by Costello) with versions of Costello's own songs rearranged for the orchestra.
		Costello was a modest, self-deprecating host, sitting on the side of the stage, nodding his head during the instrumental passages.

		Costello's performance was supposed to have impressed even the unionists who were there.

	The Ta Power Document: An Essay on the History of The Irish Republican Socialist Movement
		The sheer stature of the revolutionary Seamus Costello is far too great for what can be expressed in feeble words, yet words are the only [means] to express and convey this stature albeit in a feeble way.
		Reports had been filtering in to Long Kesh for some time about Seamus Costello and his attempts to pull the movement away from the slippery slope leading to the abandonment of the anti-imperialist struggle and acceptance of the reformism path.
		The final straw came when at the 1974 Ard Fheis, Costello's proposals, which had been supported by the majority of delegates, were brushed aside by the leadership and Costello himself was formally dismissed.

	Marxism message, IRSP: In Memory of Seamus Costello
		At the funeral of Seamus Costello, Nora Connolly-O'Brien, daughter of Ireland's greatest Marxist revolutionary leader and herself a life- long activist, republican, and socialist, said of the fallen IRSP leader: "He was the only one who truly understood what James Connolly meant when he spoke of his vision of the freedom of the Irish people."
		And, comrades, remember as you leave this graveyard today, that this grave may contain the flesh and blood of Seamus Costello, but that his spirit soars in every corner of this island where the Starry Plough ripples in the breeze.
		But, as long as the IRSP continues its fight to liberate its nation and its class, Seamus Costello yet lives and breathes.

		Seamus Costello recognised in an article that engagement with unionist working class was and is important but equally so there can be no exclusion of republican socialist politics from any agenda concerned with working class politics such as that practicised by the Socialist Environmental Alliance in the North's European election.
		James Connolly referred to 'gas and water' socialists, Seamus Costello referred to 'ring road' socialists in the 1970s and today we have the 'equitable' socialists or 'stepping stone' republicans.
		In his 1966 oration Seamus Costello laid out the path to the socialist republic: "This in effect means that we must aim for the ownership of our resources by the people, so that these resources will be developed in the best interests of the people as a whole.

	<1169 And Counting.....
		The person who is believed to have been directly responsible for the shooting of Seamus Costello held no personal animosity towards Costello and the belief is that he was specifically ordered to kill the IRSP leader by a very senior person in the Official organisation.
		There continues to be speculation about this act and there have been suggestions that Seamus Costello may have been killed by members of his own organisation : certainly there had been talk among Belfast members of the INLA in the months prior to this killing about "...getting rid..
		This was because of Costello's failure to acquire arms and explosives in the quantities that he repeatedly promised and his refusal to allow anybody else take over responsibility for it or even to be jointly involved.

	[kominform2] Ireland. IRSP: Bodenstown Speech 2002
		When Seamus Costello led his followers out of the Officials to set up the IRSP, it was in response to the mechanistic, static, and anti- democratic practices of the then Official leadership and its retreat from core Republican values.
		Nor had Seamus been fooled by the revolutionary pretensions of the Provisionals when they split away in 1969.
		He saw clearly that their economic bombing campaign coupled with their verbal revolutionary posturing would only hinder the rise of a class-conscious revolutionary movement and the task of winning militant Northern Protestant workers to the side of progress.
