A timeline of the development of left wing political groups and parties in Ireland from 1900 to the present, from the Irish Left Archive.

“Communists multiply by splitting” was a joke among my IRL comrades. Maybe it has a pinch of reality in it.

However, this is very much appreciated website. I’ve been confused about some splits and have had difficulties grasping on the timeline as well. Perhaps this will help to get a more complete picture and hopefully you’ll find this useful too!
