Dispatches From Occupied Ireland

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!
26 Years of Social Violence: British Occupation & The Good Friday Agreement
26 years since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, it has brought a quarter of a century of pain and misery on the working-class.
"The Good Friday Agreement claimed to promote “a new future for our children”. Instead, we have had precisely the opposite. With the help of Stormont, MI5 and the PSNI, former Republicans have been instrumental in normalising British control over our communities. As a result, more than 20,000 members of the British Crown forces still occupy Ireland, unbeknownst to the majority of the population. It has not even given stable government here, with the Stormont administration having collapsed eight times since 1998.
This “new future” has seen miserable social conditions imposed on our people and has cemented partition for the foreseeable future, with all the inevitable consequences that come with that.
Instead of a “bright future” our young people are faced with disastrous social conditions and a drop in living standards which seems to have no end in sight. They are currently living in the shadow of a drugs epidemic fuelled by the disastrous effects of capitalism on our society. One of

This line is unintentionally hilarious!
Today, in 1916, Irish rebels began the Easter Rising, setting Ireland on a path to freedom from British imperialism. That struggle still continues to this day. Tiocfaidh Ár Lá! Éirinn Go Brách!
Today, in 1916, Ireland’s single most famous challenge to centuries of British imperialism began, the Easter Rising. While Britain crushed the uprising and killed its leaders, it set off the process that expelled Britain from 26 Irish counties, today the Republic of Ireland.
The underground Irish Republican Brotherhood plotted the rising, which formed a military council of seven men who commanded the Irish Volunteers and James Connolly’s socialist Irish Citizen Army (ICA).
None of the men had extensive military experience, but amongst them were great organizers and influential speakers who could rally the masses. Although a revolt had been in the works for some time, the rising was triggered when England used WWI as an excuse to suspend home rule.
The rebels also saw an opportunity to go on the offensive while England was bogged down in WWI. Their slogan became: “England’s difficulty is Ireland’s opportunity,” and they set about taking on the might of the British Empire to win Ir

help finding a documentary/manifesto (public sex, private property, united ireland)
cross-posted from: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/2319299
pretty much what the title says: I remember watching a video (probably on vimeo) very serious but quite humorous of a girl making some sort of case against private property in ireland which I believe started with a weird proposition regarding the legality of public sex (particularly in private land(?)) I think it had a companion manifesto as well
I really don't remember it that well, but it just popped in my head and I'd love to find it if you guys know of anything of the sort, this is the only place I feel like I can ask
