Red Republican Party

Red Republican Party

The Red Republican Party was a small socialist organisation in Ireland. It originated as a split from People's Democracy named the Left Revolutionary Group in the mid-1970s. In contrast to People's Democracy, it described the Ulster Loyalist movement as fascist, and it called for stronger support for paramilitary Irish republicanism.

In 1976, the group changed its name to the "Red Republican Party", but was moribund by 1978. It published the journal "Heads Up".
