Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - Ko te tautoko i te manapori Irish te mea nui ki te mahi a te roopu. I te tau 1978, i whakahaerehia e ia te Smash the Prevention of Terrorism Act Campaign me te whakahaere i nga whakaeke i waho o nga tari pirihimana i mau ai nga whakapae. I whakahaerehia e te roopu he huihuinga o nga uniana o nga uniana e whakahe ana ki a Northern Ireland hei waahanga o te United Kingdom i Coventry i te tau 1981 ana i tera tau ka haere ki te huihuinga TUC, te Workers March for Irish Freedom. I te Rahoroi 6 o Hui-tanguru 1982, i whakatūria te Irish Freedom Movement (IFM) i tētahi hui i Caxton House, Archway me te kaitiaki matua o TUC a Len Murray i tuhituhi ki ngā kaunihera hokohoko tekau mā toru i tautoko i te huihuinga e whakawehi ana ki a rātau ki te whakakore i a rātau mēnā ka tae atu rātau. E mahara ana a Mick Hume, nāna i whakatika "The Next Step", i whakapae te IFM i te whai wāhi ki te whakaeke i te hui a te Rōpū Kaitiaki i te tau 1984
He aha? I whakaputaina e te IFM he panui hauwhā "Irish Freedom" me te whakarite i tetahi haerenga a-tau mo te huritau o te whakarau. I te wa i puta mai ai nga reo o nga kaitautoko o Sinn Féin mai i nga papaaho pāpāho o Ingarangi, i kawea e "Living Marxism" he uiui mo te whaarangi tuatahi me tana kaiarahi a Gerry Adams me te IFM i whakapae i te Whare Whakaata.
