Irish Militant Labour

Irish Militant Labour

Militant Labour is the name that the Militant Tendency of the Labour Party in Ireland took after leaving in late 1980s. The name Militant Labour was used by other sections of the Committee for a Workers' International after the movement of the former mass workers' parties to the right. In Ireland Militant Labour changed its name in 1996 to the Socialist Party. Joe Higgins ran as a Militant Labour candidate in the 1996 Dublin West by-election.
