This book offers a fresh and insightful look at a party riven by factions throughout its existence, and one that never reached its potential for a variety of reasons all outlined here. This book marks a major contribution to our understanding, not simply of the Labour Party, but of twentieth-century Ireland itself.

The first fifty years of the state saw Ireland change dramatically, and the Irish Labour Party changed with it. Using a wealth of new material. Niamh Puirseil traces the party's fortunes through its first fifty years in the Dail, from its perceived role as the political wing of the St Vincent de Paul to its promise that the 1970s would be socialist.
