| The Communist Party of Ireland (CPI; Irish: Páirtí Cumannach na hÉireann) is a small all-Ireland Marxist party. It was founded as the Socialist Party of Ireland, and was renamed the Communist Party in 1921 upon its affiliation to the Communist International. The party dissolved in 1924, but was refounded in 1933. In 1941 the part of the party in the Republic suspended its activities, while the northern area continued to operate under the name Communist Party, Northern Ireland. The party was re-established in the Republic in 1949 under the name Irish Workers’ League, which changed its name in 1962 to Irish Workers’ Party. The two sections reunited as the Communist Party of Ireland in 1970. The Irish Socialist Republican Party was an Irish political party founded in 1896 by James Connolly. ...

In the early half of the 20th century the CPI suffered from the authoritarian Catholic political culture of Ireland at that time; its premises were burned down on one occasion. (See report) The party provided the core of the Irish volunteers in the 1936–39 Spanish Civil War, losing a number of members who were killed in action.
Historically the party belonged to the wing of international communism that looked to the Soviet Union for inspiration. The party grew consistently through the 1960s and 70s and early 1980s. In the late 1980s membership declined significantly, but the party survived the 1990s and has since been rebuilding. The party’s aim is to win the support of the majority of the Irish people for ending the capitalist system and for building socialism. It is actively opposed to neo-liberalism and to the European Union. Internationally it maintains fraternal relations with other communist and workers’ parties and is a strong supporter of Cuba and Venezuela. Socialism refers to a broad array of doctrines or political movements that envisage a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community[1] for the purposes of increasing social and economic equality and cooperation. ...
The general secretary of the party is Eugene McCartan. The Belfast District produces a weekly paper called Unity, while the Dublin District produces a monthly paper called Socialist Voice. There are also branches in Galway and Cork.
While it is a registered party, the CPI has rarely run candidates in elections and has never had electoral success. Despite this it has had a significant influence in the trade union movement and was actively involved in the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association. In addition, a number of prominent Irish Labour Party members were former members of the CPI. The CPI operates a bookshop in Dublin called Connolly Books and has the support of a youth organisation, the Connolly Youth Movement. Both are named after the Irish socialist James Connolly.
