The Irish Labour Party was founded on May 28, 1912, in Clonmel, County Tipperary, as the political wing of the Irish Trades Union Congress. Its establishment was a crucial step in the development of organized labor and socialist politics in Ireland. Key figures like James Connolly and James Larkin were instrumental in its formation, aiming to represent the interests of working-class people and advocate for social and economic justice. The party quickly became a significant force in Irish politics, campaigning for workers' rights and social reforms.
