First Dáil Labour Program

January 11, 1919

On January 11, 1919, the First Dáil Éireann adopted the Democratic Programme, a revolutionary document that outlined its vision for workers' rights and social justice in an independent Ireland. This radical program promised significant social and economic reforms, aiming to create a more equitable society. Although many of its ambitious promises remained unfulfilled in the immediate aftermath, it represented a powerful statement of revolutionary Ireland's social aims and aspirations for a new, fairer state.
