As could this one, as well
Left Archive: The Irish Question: A Socialist Analysis – A “Wereldsocialisme” Pamphlet, SPGB, 1976.
The Socialist Party of Ireland Manifesto (1949) is an official party pamphlet but The Irish Question: A Socialist Analysis (1976) is not. S.P.G.B. – Utopian or Scientific? The Fallacy of the Overwhelming Minority (1949) has the same party status as The Irish Question: A Socialist Analysis (1976). Neither were written or agreed by publications committee (or any other party committee). By contrast, Forum Journal (1952-1960) was written and agreed by a party committee, published regularly and has yet to be uploaded here despite being fully transcribed and requests to upload here.
What about this Ireland one, then?https://cedarlounge.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/wsp-anglo-irish.pdf

The Fallacy of the Overwhelming Minority (1949) has the same party status as The Irish Question: A Socialist Analysis (1976).This is pedantry and also insulting. True, both have the same "status" as non-party publications but "The Irish Question" was written by a socialist and puts the party case (in fact a large part of it had previously been published in the Socialist Standard). The other one is anti-socialist crap not worth the paper is was printed on and certainly not at all a priority for reproducing on the internet.
My reasoning for drawing attention to those Irish pamphlets is that we do not possess a functioning World Socialist Party of Ireland, I think it is incumbent upon us to do our utmost to carry on the legacy of past Irish socialists until a revival of interest and new members are gained there.

I wasn't aware a large part of The Irish Question (1976) had been published in the Standard (and thus agreed by a party committee). I stand corrected. Apologies.
