Workers League (Ireland)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Workers League was a Trotskyist political party in Ireland.

The group's origins lay in the League for a Workers Republic, an affiliate of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI). As that organisation began to split between the supporters of the Socialist Labour League (SLL) in Britain and those of the Internationalist Communist Organisation (OCI) in France. The majority of the League for a Workers Republic sided with the OCI, but a minority broke away in 1970 to form the League for a Workers Vanguard.

When the ICFI split in 1972, the League for a Workers Vanguard changed its name to the "Workers League" and became an official affiliate of an ICFI dominated by Gerry Healy's SLL. It was moribund by about 1978.
