| 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 May issue:
The health of the nation Public health in the global north is being hollowed out, having been underfunded and privatised bit by bit for many years. Twenty years ago in Italy there were almost 6 doctors to every 1,000 people; today there are 4.1. Similar statistics can be found all over Europe as the neoliberal agenda of privatisation reaches a frenzy. . . . Continue | Ar aghaidh |

The coronavirus pandemic and its impact on womenThe CPI points out in a statement that the pandemic has resulted in an alarming growth in psychological, physical and sexual violence against women and girls. |
Paindéim an choróinvíris agus a tionchar ar mhnáCuireann ráiteas de chuid an CPI in iúl gur tharla fás scanrúil ar fhoréigean síceolaíoch, fisiceach agus gnéis in aghaidh mná agus cailíní mar thoradh ar an bpaindéim. |
Edwina Stewart (1934–2020)It is with deep regret that the Communist Party of Ireland announces the death of Edwina Stewart on Friday 29 May. A member of the National Executive Committee of the CPI in 1970 when the party was reunified as an all-Ireland party, she was secretary of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association from 1969 to 1977. A native of Belfast, she was a daughter of Sadie and Eddie Menzies, founder-members of the CPI in 1933. |

Edwina Stewart (1934–2020)Is cúis mhór bhróin do Pháirtí Cumannach na hÉireann a fhógairt go bhfuair Edwina Stewart bás Dé hAoine 29 Bealtaine. Ba bhall í de Choiste Feidhmiúcháin Náisiúnta an CPI sa bhliain 1970 nuair a athaontaíodh an páirtí mar pháirtí uile-Éireann. Bhí sí ina rúnaí ag Cumann Cearta Sibhialta Thuaisceart na hÉireann ón mbliain 1969 go dtí 1977. Ba as Béal Feirste di, iníon le Sadie agus Eddie Menzies, baill bhunaidh den CPI sa bhliain 1933. |
