Communist Party Of Ireland
The Communist Party of Ireland (CPI; ga, Páirtí Cumannach na hÉireann) is an all-Ireland Marxist–Leninist communist party, founded in 1933 and re-founded in 1970. It rarely contests elections and has never had electoral success. The party is a member of the International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties. Originating as multiple Revolutionary Workers' Groups, located at Connolly House in Dublin, the most prominent early member was James Larkin Jnr (son of James Larkin). After being outlawed under the government of W. T. Cosgrave in 1931 (as part of a wider crackdown on Peadar O'Donnell's Saor Éire and the IRA), it was legalised in 1932 under Éamon de Valera's government and subsequently changed its name to the Communist Party of Ireland in 1933 under Seán Murray, who had attended the Lenin School in Moscow. A strong anti-communist public backlash in Ireland occurred around the time of the Spanish Civil War due to the perception that the Popular Front cause wa ...

Irish Workers' League
The Irish Workers' League (1948–1962) and Irish Workers' Party (1962–1970) were names used by the communist party in the Republic of Ireland. Background The Southern section of the Communist Party of Ireland had suspended its activities from 1941 onwards, because of police interference in its activities and the difficulties imposed by the emigration of many members to find work in England. Members were encouraged instead to join the Labour Party (although many were subsequently expelled). The influx of communists to the Labour Party and the union movement, from both James Larkin's party and the Communist Party of Ireland, caused a split in Labour, with the formation in 1944 of the National Labour Party. During this time, the communists still ran a revolutionary book-shop called ''New Books'' and produced a publication, ''Irish Review''. Irish Workers' League After the Second World War, internees released from the Curragh Camp such as the ''Connolly Group'' and with expulsio ...

Brian O'Neill (journalist)
Brian O'Neill was an English, Irish, or American journalist and Communist activist who worked mostly in London and Dublin between the 1920s and the 1970s. Life O'Neill's origins are uncertain. In the early 1930s, John Charles McQuaid, Dean and President of Blackrock College, Dublin, later to become Archbishop of Dublin, had a Vigilance Committee which kept an eye on journalists active in Ireland, and it reported to McQuaid that O'Neill had trained in Moscow on ''Pravda'' and had gone on to work at the All Russian Co-operative Society in London until 1927, when it was broken up by the British, who saw it as a Soviet trade and espionage agency. According to the report, he then moved on to Glasgow, where he was in trouble with the police, and in 1931 arrived in Dublin, where he took the new name of Brian O'Neill and worked as a journalist and as a paid activist and pamphleteer of the Communist Party.Mark O'Brien, ''The Fourth Estate: Journalism in twentieth-century Ireland'' (Manche ...
