Cork Branch - Communist Party of Ireland

Vietnam was reunified on this day 50 years ago, after decades of anti-colonial resistance. That victory wasn’t inevitable — it was fought for. At the center was Hồ Chí Minh, the revolutionary who turned a colonized nation into a symbol of anti-imperialist struggle.

Good Trouble shows the strong connection between the Black Civil Rights Movement in the United States & the Civil Rights Movement in the north of Ireland – specifically the influence of the Montgomery to Selma march on the 1969 Belfast to Derry march connollybooks.org/product/good-t…

Wear a lily this Easter! The Easter Lily is a badge in the shape of a Calla Lily flower, worn at Easter in Ireland as a symbol of remembrance for Irish republican combatants who died during, or were executed after, the 1916 Easter Rising. connollybooks.org/product/easter…

I wrote a piece for @VoiceSocialist about the false narrative of a rift in NATO. The EU powers are doing precisely what Trump and his team have asked them to - building strength through division of labour, so the US can focus it's energies on China. socialistvoice.ie/2025/04/nato-a…

Message of solidarity from the Communist Party of Ireland to the "Mothers Against Genocide". Political repression is intensifying against those active in solidarity with Palestinian people across the European states. They need to defend Zionism. communistparty.ie/en/2025/04/sta…

The Communist Party of Ireland was outside the Dáil this evening (26th)to protest at the governments attempt to abolish the Triple Lock on the deployment of Irish military personnel overseas. This government has been the most pro-imperialist and reactionary for many decades.

Communist Party of Ireland outside Leinster House this evening. The government is intent on dismantling the Triple Lock. In doing so, they will be reneging on commitments made to the people of Ireland during two referendums (Nice & Lisbon treaties). A recent poll showed that 75% of Irish people support neutrality, a result that was reflected across all age-groups, regions and political parties, including Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael voters. This government has no mandate whatsoever to dismantle the Triple Lock. The Triple Lock is vital for preserving Ireland’s neutrality, a policy overwhelmingly supported by the people. With the danger of war and militarism looming ever larger, the necessity for a clear, united, anti-war campaign is urgently needed. We need to defend and advance neutrality by enshrining it in the constitution, thereby placing the question in the hands of the people rather than opportunist politicians. Rather than spending on militarism, there should be an increase in social spend around areas such as health, education and housing. communistparty.ie

Ireland should have nothing to do with Imperialist War games. "All the small States can do, if the statesmen of the greater States fail in their duty, is resolutely to determine that they will not become the tools of any great Power.." - De Valera at League of Nations in 1936..
