Communist Party Of IrelandThe Communist Party of Ireland (CPI) is a 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. As an all-Ireland party, its aim is to advance the struggle for national unity and independence and for socialism. Fraternal meetings with the Communist Party of Britain, which does not operate in Northern Ireland, are not uncommon, with the CPI's General Secretary, Eugene McCartain, having been a prominent speaker in, amongst others, the Communist Party of Britain's Communist University of Wales. The CPI operates a bookshop in Dublin known as Connolly Books. Its youth organisation is the Connolly Youth Movement. Both are named after the Irish revolutionary James Connolly. External link
