About
The League of Communist Republicans were a split from the Provisional IRA in the 1980s. This came on foot of the end of abstention by Sinn Féin in 1986 with a mass resignation of some IRA prisoners in the H-Blocks, amongst them were a smaller number who combined later that year as the League of Communist Republicans. They positioned themselves as supportive of the USSR and of the concept of a ‘vanguard party’.

You may have already seen it elsewhere, but there is an article by Liam O'Ruairc, originally published in Fourthwrite, which gives an overview and is still accessible on the Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20071118172513/http://www.fourthwrite.ie/lcr.pdf.
We also have some more editions of Congress '86 scheduled to be added to the archive here in future.
