Many thanks to the person who forwarded this to the Archive.
As noted previously the Spartacist Group Ireland, originally established as the Dublin Sparticist Group in Autumn 1990, was an Irish affiliate of the Spartacists / International Communist League. The Spartacists are originally a US organisation which split from the US Socialist Workers Party in the 1960s.
This document is a simple two pager which argues:
We in the Dublin Spartacist Group call for urgent mobilisations by the workers movement in defence of Traveller halting sites and to put a stop to racist cop and vigilante attacks on Travellers!Hands off the Travellers!
The government’s ”law and order’• ”anti drugs’1 campaign – kicked off in the first place by the ”Rainbow Coalition” with the full support of the Labour Party and Democratic Left – means the strengthening of the repressive powers of the capitalist state which-will be used against workers, women’s rights activists, Repubicans and Travellers. Youth Defence Blueshirts feel the wind in their sails and have targeted the Mary Stopes women’s clinic.
Notable is an attack on the Socialist Party. Also notable is the mention of the Spartacists group being founded seven years previously.
It concludes with the appeal: For an Irish workers republic, part of a socialist federation of the British Isles.

Has there ever been support for a socialist federation of the “British Isles” by a serious organisation in Ireland? By serious organisation I mean more than a few dozen members.
