revolutionary workers' groups were established in Belfast and Dublin in November 1930, replacing the Workers' Revolutionary Party as the Irish affiliate of the Comintern or third International. Against the background of the Great Depression, members were active in a wide range of industrial disputes and popular agitations, most notably the Outdoor Relief Protests in Belfast. In June 1933 the RWGs were superseded by a reestablished Irish Communist Party.
