UNDER the slogan “national and class unity,” the Communist Party of Ireland held its 26th national congress over the weekend of September 17-18 in Dublin. The congress brought together communists from around Ireland to discuss and vote upon the political resolution and a new constitution.
It was the culmination of months of debate in party branches on the draft political resolution and the draft new constitution presented by the national executive committee.
The congress took place as the attacks on working people’s living standards continue to grow, the crisis of the system intensifies and the military and economic aggression in the form of sanctions by imperialism against peoples and countries they wish to control, led by the US, grows in intensity.
