Congress restated its opposition to selling off government shares in public enterprise. The ICTU is also opposed to using money from the sale of a minority of shares to pay back the national debt. Secret discussions with consultants and financiers are also rejected by the ICTU as totally unacceptable procedures for dealing with privatisation proposals. The Executive Council of the ICTU accepts the case for selling of a minority of shares in public enterprises where there is no alternative method of raising the capital required to make existing jobs secure or create new jobs, but would prefer structures for channelling private· investment into public enterprises along the lines of Irish Telecommunications Investment where the public enterprise regains full control.

  • Transformative Illegality: How Condoms 'Became Legal' in Ireland
    Feminist Legal Studies (2018) 26:261–284 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10691-018-9392-1 Transformative Illegality: How Condoms ‘Became Legal’ in Ireland, 1991–1993 Máiréad Enright1 · Emilie Cloatre2 Published online: 20 November 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract This paper examines Irish campaigns for condom access in the early 1990s. Against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis, activists campaigned against a law which would not allow condoms to be sold from ordinary commercial spaces or vending machines, and restricted sale to young people. Advancing a conception of ‘transformative ille- gality’, we show that illegal action was fundamental to the eventual legalisation of commercial condom sale. However, rather than foregrounding illegal condom sale as a mode of spectacular direct action, we show that tactics of illegal sale in the 1990s built on 20 years of everyday illegal sale within the Irish family planning movement. Everyday illegal sale was a long-term world-making practice, which gradually trans- formed condoms’ legal meanings, eventually enabling new forms of provocative and irreverent protest. Condoms ‘became legal’ when the state recognised modes of con- dom sale, gradually built up over many years and publicised in direct action and in the courts.

  • Clark (Eds.) Radical Or Redundant? Minor Parties in Irish Political Life Dublin: History Press, 2012
    To the left of Labour: The Workers’ Party and Democratic Left in L. Weeks and A. Clark (eds.) Radical or redundant? Minor Parties in Irish political life Dublin: History Press, 2012. 173-187. To the Left of Labour: the Workers’ Party and Democratic Left, 1982–97 Kevin Rafter Introduction Over the last 90 years new parties have repeatedly attempted to break into the national political arena in Ireland so as to challenge the longtime dominance of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Labour. The new entrants have periodically challenged the established order in terms of shaping policy agendas, winning seats and participating in multi- party governmental arrangements. A limited number of small parties have achieved these three outcomes – impact on policy, Dáil representation and governmental involvement – including Clann na Poblachta, Clann na Talmhan, the Progressive Democrats, Democratic Left and the Green Party. Others, including the Workers’ Party, while not experiencing a period in power, have both impacted on policy formation and enjoyed national electoral success. All these new entrants, however, share one common trait – namely, a poor record in sustaining their challenge to the big three parties. It has been pointed out that smaller parties can ‘add a richness and depth that has an impact on democracy and representation’ (Copus et al, 2009: 4). In an Irish context, however, despite this democratic value, these parties have failed to sustain a lasting political and electoral presence. Ireland’s so-called ‘two and a half party system’ was defined – until the general election in 2011 – by Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Labour repeatedly filling the same pecking order in terms of votes and seats.

We have demonstrated over the past years in very practical and positive ways what the Workers' Party stands for. In and out of Parliament we have consistently upheld the interests of the working class. The struggle to build and expand the Workers' Party is not an easy one. We need only look back over the past fifteen or so years to see the progress we have made. In the February election of 1973 we put forward 10 candidates and received a total of 15,000 votes.

The papers provide a significant source for the history of the development of the party and its policies through the comprehensive series of press statements issued over many years. In January 1977 during the annual Sinn Féin Árd Fheis members voted for a name change and the party became known as Sinn Féin the Workers’ Party. A concerted effort was made in the late 1970s to increase the profile and political representation of the party. In 1979 Tomás MacGiolla won a seat in Ballyfermot in the local elections in Dublin. Two years later in 1981 the party saw its first success at national level with the election of Joe Sherlock in Cork East as the party’s first TD. In 1982 Sherlock, Paddy Gallagher and Proinsias de Rossa all won seats in the general election. In 1981 the Árd Fheis voted in favour of another name change to the Workers’ Party.

  • Irregulars: Tales of Republican Dissonance
    The Sixties, very roughly the period between the end of the 1956 – 62 Campaign (waged by the IRA and Saor Ulaidh) and the intensification of the Provisionals’ War in Northern Ireland in the early seventies, was an irregular period in Irish political life. This irregular period was, irregularly, a time when all the categories of Irish politics, from the nation to the polity, from Hibernianism to Republicanism, from Socialism to Unionism were actively thought about and fought over, in the streets and the pubs of Ireland, and in the dreams of Irishmen and Irishwomen. That is the background to the stories contained in this book, which attempt to show how the irregularity of those times was answered in the name of the poor and the powerless and the rights of the people of Ireland by a group of men of no property and no name, or of many names:—the IRREGULARS.

A long campaign for legal reform began in the mid-1970s when a leading gay activist, David Norris — later elected to the Irish senate3 for the University constituency of Trinity College Dublin — first launched his legal challenge to the republic's anti-gay laws.

  • Democratic Left
    Lessons from the demise of Democratic Left and its aftermath Proinnsias Breathnach This is an edited version of a presentation made to Conference: Local Resistance, Global Crisis: Developing communities of solidarity and left politics for the 21st century, NUI Maynooth, June 13, 2014 The views expressed in this presentation are entirely personal and have no connection with the author's academic affiliation to NUI Maynooth. As part of the process of discussing the prospects for a new left party in Ireland, it might be useful to consider the experience and fate of the Workers Party (Ireland’s first signicant left wing party) and its offshoot, Democratic Left. The Workers Party originated in the split which occurred in the original Sinn Féin party in the early 1970s between one group - which became known as Official Sinn Féin - which sought to direct Sinn Féin towards a socialist political programme and those - Provisional Sinn Féin - who wished to maintain the organisation's focus on achieving political unification of the island of Ireland. During the 1970s Official Sinn Féin developed (with the accompanying publication of a range of pamphlets) a leftwing analysis of Irish society and the Irish economy, and became involved in campaigns on social and economic issues at both national (resources, housing) and local (provision of community facilities, access to services) level. In the late 1970s Official Sinn Féin changed its name to Sinn Féin The Workers Party, and then, in the early 1980s, dropped the Sinn Féin part of the title. The party was expanding quite rapidly at the time, mainly through the recruitment of young, well-educated professionals, many of whom quickly came to prominence, such as Pat Rabbitte, Eamonn Gilmore, Liz McManus and Pat McCartan.
