Was sent (many thanks) these pages of a 2002 Edition of The Starry Plough, the newspaper of the IRSP. It was a special edition marking the 25th Anniversary of the murder of Seamus Costello.
In this post are The cover of the paper and a very interesting page which cover many things including a profile of Seamus Costello, the foundation of the IRSP and his ultimate murder, which is uploaded in PDF HERE .
(Should anyone have any of Costellos election material. I’d love to post it)
The sender notes too that “Costello was the first (and so far only) leader of an Irish political party to be murdered.”

The Provos
Some thought they were republican
But in reality they were not
They are but Brit’ auxiliaries
And a part of the unionist lot.
Of course there were sincere ones
Alas, sacrificed from the top
By some power seeking egos
And Brit’ agents from the start.
Oh to those who formed the Provos
Look at the mess our country’s in
The foreign grip has been reinforced
By Gerry and Martin…
But the cause itself is unbreakable
And in time we shall overcome
To see our beloved people
Sharing the vision of Wolfe Tone.
