| 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. |

It was not borrowed by the Government to build schools or hospitals, or to develop our natural resources: this is private and corporate debt, and we should refuse to pay it. |
Séanaimis an fiachas!Tá iallach á chur orainn fiachas a íoc nár thabhaigh muid. Ní fiachas flaithiúnais é fiachas na mbanc. Ní bhfuair an Rialtas an iasacht seo le scoileanna ná ospidéil a thógáil, ná lenár n-acmhainní nádúrtha a fhorbairt: fiachas corparáideach agus fiachas príobháideach is ea é, agus ba chóir dúinn diúltú dó. |

| The Communist Party of Greece has issued a statement condemning the attempted blackmail of the people by the decision to hold a referendum rather than an election. |
Tá Páirtí Cumannach na Gréige tar éis ráiteas a eisiúint a cháineann an iarracht ar dhúmhál a dhéanamh ar an bpobal trí reifreann a eagrú seachas toghchán. |

Demonstration against the bail-out |
Léirsiú in aghaidh na tarrthála |
||
On Tuesday 1 November supporters of the Repudiate the Debt Campaign and Occupy Dame Street held a joint demonstration outside the Department of Finance in Dublin. They were protesting against the payment of $1 billion to unsecured bond-holders and calling for a referendum on the bailing out of the banks. |
Dé Máirt 1 Samhain ghlac tacadóirí an Fheachtais um Shéanadh an Fhiachais agus Sealbhaímis Sráid an Dáma páirt i gcomhléirsiú lasmuigh den Roinn Airgeadais i mBaile Átha Cliath. Bhí siad ag agóid in aghaidh íocaíocht $1 billiún do shealbhóirí bannaí neamhurraithe agus ag éileamh reifreann ar tharrtháil na mbanc.

Greek anarcho-fascists in collaboration with the police |
Anriail-faisistigh na Gréige i gcomhoibriú leis na póilíní |

 Hooded “anarchists” co-ordinating their attacks with the riot police, Athens, December 2010 — “Ainrialaithe” cochaill ag comhordú a ngníomhartha leis na póilíní círéibe, an Aithin, mí na Nollag 2010 |
 And again in October 2011, accompanied by riot police, preparing to attack trade unionists. (More photographs at picasaweb.google.com showing the “anarchists” with police truncheons and police gas-masks.) — Agus arís i mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2011, i gcomhluadar na bpóilíní círéibe, ag ullmhú le hionsaí a dhéanamh ar cheardchumannaithe.

On the articles by the international media on the murderous attack on the demonstration in Athens, December 2010 |
Ar na hailt ag na meáin idirnáisiúnta ar an ionsaí modartha ar an léirsiú san Aithin |
||
| A statement by the Communist Party of Greece points out that the murderous attack by anarcho-fascist groups on the rally organised by the All-Workers Militant Front (PAME) made the news on a global scale, but there were many attempts by the bourgeois media to distort the facts. | Deir ráiteas ó Pháirtí Cumannach na Gréige go ndearnadh nuacht ar scála domhanda d’ionsaí modartha na n-ainriail-faisisteach ar an slógadh a d’eagraigh Fronta Míleata na nOibrithe Uile (PAME) ach go ndearna na meáin bhuirgéiseacha mórán iarrachtaí ar na fíricí a chur as a riocht. | ||
Murderous assault against the rally in Athens |
Ionsaí modartha in aghaidh an ollslógaidh san Aithin |
||
 The suffocating atmosphere caused by the use of smoke bombs and fire extinguishers by the provocateurs against demonstrators had as a result the tragic death of Dimítris Kotzarídis, construction worker and PAME trade unionist. — Toisc an atmaisféar plúchtach a chruthaigh na buamaí deataigh agus múchtóirí dóiteáin a d’úsáid saighdeoirí i gcoinne na léirsitheoirí tháinig bás traigéideach ar Dimítris Kotzarídis, oibrí tógála agus ceardchumannaí de chuid PAME. |
Organised groups, including anarcho-fascists, unleashed an attack with Molotov cocktails, tear-gas, stun grenades, and stones, on the workers’ and people’s rally in Athens, resulting in the death of a trade unionist. — Scaoil grúpaí eagraithe, ina measc ainriail-faisistigh, ionsaí ar shlógadh na n-oibrithe agus an phobail san Aithin le manglaim Molotov, deoirghás, stiúdghránáidí, agus clocha, a d’fhág ceardchumannaí marbh.  On the news of the death of Dimítris Kotzarídis, a minute’s silence was observed. — Coiméadadh nóiméad ciúnais nuair a fuarthas scéala bhás Dimítris Kotzarídis. |

| The “heart” of the second day of the enormous 48-hour strike mobilisation was beating in the central square of Athens, Syntágma Square, where the All-Workers Militant Front (PAME) organised a huge rally-encirclement of the Greek parliament.
Bhí “croí” dara lá an ollslógadh 48 uair an chloig ag bualadh i gcearnóg láir na hAithine, Cearnóg Syntágma, áit a d’eagraigh Fronta Míleata na nOibrithe Uile (PAME) ollslógadh mórthimpeall ar Pharlaimint na Gréige. |

The great oil and gas rip-off |
Lomadh mór an ola agus an gháis |
||
| The decision by Pat Rabbitte, Minister for Communications, Energy, and Natural Resources, to issue thirteen new exploration licences for oil and gas is nothing more than the complete abandonment of any control of these resources that belong to the Irish people, says a statement by the CPI. |
Níl i mbeartas Pat Rabbitte, Aire Cumarsáide, Fuinnimh, agus Acmhainní Nádúrtha, trí cinn déag de cheadúnais nua taiscéalaíochta ola agus gáis a eisiúint ach tréigean iomlán smacht ar bith ar na hacmhainní sin ar le muintir na hÉireann iad, a deir ráiteas a d’eisigh an CPI. |
