Socialist Youth (Ireland)

Socialist Youth (Ireland)

Socialist Youth is the youth section of the Socialist Party of Ireland. It has its strongest bases of support in Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway.

Socialist Youth is known for being very public when it comes to issues such as Lebanon, Iraq, Inequality and imperialism. The youth organization fights these issues within their democratic rights.

One of its members was also imprisoned as a result of the events around the anti-bin charge campaign.

Socialist Youth is active in the Shell To Sea campaign and has organised protests, occupations and other solidarity activities. In mid-2006, Socialist Youth launched a young workers' rights campaign called Organise! which has organised assistance for young workers who face exploitative treatment by their employers. In the North, the campaign goes under the name Fightback! and has placed pickets and protests on low-paying employers.
