The paper also focuses on socialist solidarity issues around the world. The name of the paper is taken from the flag of the same name.

This was at the suggestion of Derry Members to the IRSP Ard Comhairle in early 1975. The Irish translation An Camcheachta was provided by the late Mairin Bean Ui Chionnaith an Irish scholar of note and a staunch republican.The first edition of the new Starry Plough was published in April 1975 under the editorship of Mick Ahern. Subsequent editors included Osgur Breatnach, James Daly, Mary Reid and Mick Ahern, again. Important contributors included Bernadette McAliskey, Tom Hayes, Ite Ni Chionnaith, Eamonn McCann, Niall Lenoach, Redmond O'Hanlon, Gery Lawless, Siobhan Molloy and London SWP cartoonist Phil Evans.
