"Irish Student" was published from 24 May 1967 to 1973 as Official Organ of the Irish Student Movement, a Movement active in various colleges and educational establishments accross Ireland that catered for 20,000 students in 1966 and was linked to The Internationalists in Trinity College Dublin (November 1965 1969), a group founded by Hardial Bains, which became the Irish Communist Movement (Marxist-Leninist) (1969 1972), anti-revisionist and initially Maoist but which, later, supported Albanian leader Enver Hoxha following the Sino-Albanian split, and which was officiallly dissolved in 2003, following a long period of inactivity. Hardial Bains, a lecturer in bacteriology, was originally from India. In 1959, he left his country, where he was member of the Communist Party of India, but resigned in protest at the Party s endorsement of Khrushshev s criticisms of Stalin. He went to Canada, where he completed his post-graduate studies at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. In March 1963, he founded there the group The Internationalists (which will become later the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist)). At the end of 1966, the Irish group renamed itself the Trinity Internationalists and began to issue the periodical Words , which became the weekly Words and Comment in early 1967. The same year, The Internationalists organised a study program entitled Necessity for Change and then a Youth and Student Conference entitled the Necessity for Change in London, first scheduled for 1-15 July and then postponed to 1-15 August. In August 1969, the Internationalits, under the name Irish Revolutionary Youth, launched a monthly newspaper entitled Red Patriot . In July 1970, The Trinity Internationalists officially merged with Irish Revolutionary Youth and formed the Communist Party of Ireland (Marxist-Leninist).
