Working for Labour
Working for the Irish in Britain
The Labour Party Irish Society is a socialist society affiliated to the Labour Party.
It consists of members of the Labour Party and trade union movement in Britain who are Irish by birth or descent, or those who are interest in Ireland, Irish affairs and the Irish community in Britain.
The Irish emigrant community – and their children and grandchildren – have made a significant contribution to public life in Britain. As well as serving the Labour Party and the trade union movement in a range of capacities, particularly as local councillors and shop stewards, the Irish built the roads, the houses and hospitals that serve our communities and worked as nurses, midwives and carers for people from all of our diverse communities.
The work of the LPIS in promoting the interests of the Irish in Britain, and promoting the cause of Labour within the Irish community, is vitally important. It is work that will continue and with the support of the party will be successful in ensuring that the age-old alliance between the Irish in Britain and the Labour movement continues well into the future.
