The Irish Republican Socialist Party was formed in 1974

Welcome to the website of the Irish Republican Socialist Party; the home of Republican Socialism in Ireland.

We make no secret of the fact that we are a revolutionary party, prepared to give leadership on the streets as well as in the elected chambers. We are out for a revolutionary state in the form of a 32 County Socialist Republic.

The Irish Republican Socialist Party was formed in 1974 by republicans, socialists and trade unionists who believed the class struggle and the Irish national question are one in the same.

Since then the IRSP has campaigned and agitated around the core issues of ending the British occupation in the North of Ireland, building socialism and opposing all foreign interference in the affairs of the Irish people
