| The Communist Party of Ireland is an all-Ireland Marxist party founded in 1933. Its aim is to win the support of the majority of the Irish people for ending the capitalist system and for building socialism—a social system in which the means of production, distribution and exchange are publicly owned and utilised for the benefit of the whole people. | Páirtí Marxach uile-Éireann a bunaíodh sa bhliain 1933 is ea Páirtí Cumannach na hÉireann. Is é aidhm an pháirtí tacaíocht thromlach mhuintir na hÉireann a bhaint amach do dheireadh a chur leis an gcóras caipitleach agus do thógáil an tsóisialachais—córas sóisialta ina bhfuil na córacha táirgthe, dáileacháin agus malairte i seilbh an phobail agus ina n-úsáidtear iad ar mhaithe leis an bpobal iomlán. |

 | From the June issue:
Out of the chambers and into the communities! All elections are but a snapshot of the degree of political or class consciousness of the mass of the people, in particular of working people. It is clear from the turnout in the recent elections, both north and south, that large numbers of people (more than half) decided not to bother voting at all—a phenomenon that is not confined to Ireland but is an increasing trend in capitalist countries. Continue | Ar aghaidh |
Elections show the political stability of the systemIf the working class is to advance its own class interests, more than elections or electoral strategies are required, the CPI has said in a statement. |
Taispeánann na toghcháin cobhsaíocht pholaitiúil an chóraisMá tá an aicme oibre chun a leas aicmeach féin a chur chun cinn, tá níos mó ná toghcháin ná straitéisí toghcháin de dhíth, a deir an CPI i ráiteas. |
