Labour Youth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Labour Youth Logo

Labour Youth (LY) is the youth wing of the Irish political party the Labour Party of Ireland, representing a youth voice within the Labour Party.

It replaced an earlier organisation, the Young Labour League. Labour Youth tended to be more left-wing than the Party leaders during the 1970s and 1980s. During the late 1980s onwards Labour Youth was much less of a radical voice. The 1990s saw Labour Youth change and reestablished after the DL merger. In recent times Labour Youth has proved that it is both radical and strongly left wing by rejecting a coalition agreement unless Labour is the largest party.
