Basically Impossible
Ireland has never really had a sucessful scocialist/communist party on the Europe model. Even Irish Labour would be far from that standard.
Yes some of the men involved in the rising were socialist inclined and some in the war of independence but Irish nationalism was very nationalist and religiius based at the time. You'd basically have to rewrite history for decades to do that. We were too agricultural a sector to do the that.
Theres a revision of history and well facts on at the moment basing on the recent IRA who were Marxist inspired but remeber there from relatively industrialised North which impacted the "working class" nature of the struggle. The War of Indepence was a very differnt thing. And the Wind that Shakes the Barley wouldnt be the most factual film around.
And Celticism? Nonsense basically. Theres pan-celtic stuff now but nothing political, its just cultural links and such.
