The original leadership of the SWM (Ireland) left in sympathy with a small tendency in Britain and formed the Irish Workers Group which is now a tiny part of the League for the Fifth International.
The SWM was long overshadowed on the Irish left by Stalinist organisations such as the Workers Party, but the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Warsaw Bloc regimes post 1989 saw it grow.
It should not be confused with the Socialist Party (Ireland), the Irish Republican Socialist Party or the Workers Party (Ireland).

 Report of the Socialist Party of Ireland
Many members of the Socialist Party participated in the struggle, some were killed in action: James Connolly, a wounded prisoner of war, was tried by court-martial which assembled around his bed, and placed in a chair, his arms and legs fastened by bandages to it and carried thus to the place of execution and shot.
At the moment of the insurrection, the British Labour Party was in coalition with the bourgeois parties of England, Mr Arthur Henderson, Mr Wm Bruce, and Mr GH Roberts being members of the Ministry, the first mentioned having Cabinet rank.
Workers' Councils are formed in all small towns and during the general strikes of 1918-1919 and 1920 these councils have taken full control of food supplies and kindred matters, in some cases ordering the British police (an armed force) to be confined to barracks.

 Workers Party Ireland on USA project for Global Hegemony - Spectrezine
The threat to the social and economic conditions of workers and small farmers and the escalation of imperialist war has sharpened the ideological struggle and provides new conditions for building class consciousness and preparing workers for political action.
This principle involves active solidarity with the socialist countries, with genuine liberation and social movements, with fraternal parties and progressives throughout the world and is an enduring weapon in the struggle against imperialism and the battle for peace, democracy, national independence and socialism.
It is the task of the Communist and Workers' parties to develop a programme and strategy, taking into account the conditions in each region, which promotes and advances the interests and demands of the working class and which provides a basis for united mobilization around common campaigns.

O'Flaherty had been forced to resign from the Supreme Court in 1999 after it was revealed that he had made representations to another judge in a lower court to have a sentence reduced for a man whose drunken driving had led to the death of a young mother and serious injuries to her children.
The revelation caused outrage in Ireland and that outrage became even greater when, just a year later, the Irish government announced it was nominating the former Judge to the Board of Directors of the European Investment Bank with a salary of IR£147,000 (over 200,000 Euros) per annum.
The Workers' Party spokesman concluded by calling for the process of nomination to government and European Union positions to be made totally transparent and fair.

 The struggle for Socialism Today: Appendix
Workers’ revolution then became an optional extra and the self-emancipation of the working class merely one option among many possible roads to socialism.
This is vital in Ireland where although there have been gains for the middle class, the Catholic population in Northern Ireland still face the sectarianism of the Northern Ireland state and suffer harassment from its police force.
As has been made clear this does not amount to an endorsement of everything each party has said but it is a basic recognition that a vote for SWP or SP is preferable to a vote for the right wing or reformist parties.

The Workers' Party has welcomed the decision of the Broadcasting Complaints Commission to uphold a complaint made by the party to the Commission against the failure of RTE, Ireland's state owned broadcasting company to give the Workers' Party adequate coverage in relation to its "no" campaign on the Amsterdam Treaty Referendum last year.
Workers' Party Councillor Sean O'Cionnaith, reacting to the Commission's ruling, said that it had clearly shown that RTE had discriminated against The Workers' Party in relation to the Amsterdam Treaty Referendum, and Councillor O'Cionnaith said that RTE continues to discrimate against the party.
However, the Broadcasting Complaints Commission, in its decision announced today (Monday) said that The Workers' Party was a distinct organisation with a particular perspective on the Referendum and that RTE was not entitled to assume the views of the Workers' Party were identical to those of other groups or parties opposed to the Referendum.

 The CPI: A Critical History
None the less, politically, in his failure to organise a proper even bureaucratic centralist party and in his connected lukewarmness on religion, he was on the right and the Comintern (or rather its Stalinite leadership, no Congress agreed to this) was on the eve of a swing to the ultra-left.
The Communist Party of Ireland shows a measure of shrewdness both politically and organisationally when it emphasises 1933 – the founding only of the second CPI – as the date from which progress has been made.
The Revolutionary Workers Groups into which the Workers Press Groups were transformed under the aegis of the preparatory Committee for a Revolutionary Workers Party lasted as such for three years before being transformed into the second Communist Party of Ireland.

Sard, writing as Walter J Oakes, argued in Politics that the PAE was to be understood as allowing capitalism to achieve a level of stability by preventing the rate of profit from falling as spending on arms was unproductive and would not lead to the increase of the organic composition of capital.
Therefore he supported the perspectives of the RCP at the end of the Second World War which placed the small party in opposition to the new leadership of the Fourth International around Ernest Mandel, then known as Germain, and Michel Raptis, better known as Pablo, which was backed by the American Socialist Workers Party.
This may be taken as a first general statement of programme by the SRG given its all encompasing nature and, apart from its position on Stalinism, is informed by a conception of transitional politics that is characteristic of Trotskyism.

 Communist Party of Ireland / Páirtí Cumannach na hÉireann
The Communist Party of Ireland is an all-Ireland Marxist party founded in 1933.
Its aim is to win the support of the majority of the Irish people for ending the capitalist system and for building socialism—a social system in which the means of production, distribution and exchange are publicly owned and utilised for the benefit of the whole people.
Our world today is marked by the relentless privatisation of public wealth, the destruction of social cohesion through the promotion of greed and consumerism, a growing gulf between rich and poor, the destruction of the environment by capitalist industry, an assault on national democracy by imperialism, and increasing infringements on civil liberties.

One WNP member handed over information that has made it difficult for them to hold any public activity and has exposed their organisation to increasingly hostile attention from local people who, thanks to the work of local anti fascist activists, are becoming aware of their true nazi character.
The only way to deal with the wnp is to, expose their real political agenda, fight the social conditions that they try to use as a breeding ground for fascists ideas and deny them the opportunity to organise.
Unfortunately the backdrop to their activity in Northern Ireland is a massive number of racist attacks.
