From 1931, the draft constitution and rules of Saor Éire: https://www.leftarchive.ie/document/6252/

Saor Éire was a left Republican and communist organisation founded by members of the IRA in 1931 as “an organisation of workers and working farmers”.

It was banned by Military Tribunal, along with other Republican and Communist groups, in October 1931. (The ban was lifted the following March).

With the strength of reaction, the organisation never really got off the ground.
