The Wolfe Tone Societies (WTS) (Irish: Muintir Wolfe Tone[1]) is an Irish republican group whose chief objective is the establishment of a 'united Irish Republic.'[1][2] It evolved from the commemorative Directories which the IRA helped set up in 1963 to mark the bicentenary of the 1763 birth of Wolfe Tone.[1][3] In 1964 the Directories were dissolved and replaced with the Wolfe Tone Society. The publication of the Wolf Tone Society from 1965 onward was called Tuairisc.
