Militant Left (Ireland)


Militant Left is a Trotskyist political party active in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. After the 2019 split in the Committee for a Workers' International, the group was founded by former members of the Socialist Party who wished to affiliate to the 'refounded' Committee for a Workers' International. Initially known as CWI Ireland, it renamed itself Militant Left in June 2020.
The group has one public representative, Donal O'Cofaigh, who had originally been elected to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council as a Cross-Community Labour Alternative member in 2019 but left to join CWI Ireland later that year. As a councillor for the party, O'Cofaigh has focused on issues regarding zero-hour-contracts and precarious work., as well as the shortage of general practitioners in Fermanagh..
