The Irish soviets (Irish: Sóivéidí na hÉireann) were a series of self-declared soviets that formed in Ireland during the revolutionary period of the Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War (1919 to 1923), mainly in the province of Munster. "Soviet" in this context is used in its original socialist sense of a council of workers who control their place of work, not as a reference to the Soviet Union (which took its name from the same meaning).
