The Workers’ Party of Ireland condemns the ongoing and systemic attacks on European democracy by the EU. We condemn attempts by Georgia’s outgoing ceremonial President, Salome Zourabichvili, to undermine the country's democratically elected government. The French-born agitator has repeatedly backed violent demonstrators and has threatened to not stand down from her post. On Saturday, 53-year-old [...]
Luigi Mangione’s alleged killing of a CEO struck fear into the hearts of the kleptocratic US elite. But for real change to occur, the ruling class must be made to fear the power of an organised working class. Mangione’s action against a murderous system was an expression of the rage felt by millions—a rage that [...]
The Workers’ Party has called on the Social Democrats to conduct a transparent inquiry into the financial and political background of Eoin Hayes, with many serious questions remaining unanswered in relation to the now independent TD. Garrett Greene, Workers’ Party representative for Cabra-Glasnevin, said: “The Workers’ Party believes that Mr Hayes lies concerning the issue [...]
We acknowledge the tragic implications of the defeat of the Baathist state and the victory of Western Imperialism in Syria. The long-running civil war to overthrow the Arab nationalist government in Syria has ended in victory for Salafist Islamic jihadis and their Western, Turkish, and Israeli sponsors. As a secular, anti-Zionist state, Syria found unlikely [...]
The Workers' Party is observing the situation in south Korea with great interest. The lifting of martial law by President Yoon Suk Yeol marks a positive step, but south Korea remains in grave danger as a fascist government continues to wield power.

The failure of the state to address the needs of primary and special schools must be rectified by the next government, following the results of a survey carried out by the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation (INTO), according to David Gardiner, Workers’ Party representative for Palmerstown-Fonthill. Gardiner said: “A survey carried out by INTO, which over [...]
The Workers’ Party condemns the recent large-scale incursion by NATO-backed terrorist groups into Aleppo as yet another manifestation of escalating imperialist aggression and destabilisation in the Middle East. These events, following the Israeli violations of the ceasefire with Hezbollah in the Lebanon, further expose the complicity of US and British imperialism in fuelling conflict across [...]
The one-off payment from Stormont of £100 for pensioners affected by winter fuel cuts is nowhere near acceptable and will leave many of our most vulnerable in dire circumstances this winter. The reality is that this one-off payment of £100 will go to those who would have been receiving £200/£300 before the cuts which would [...]
The Workers' Party of Ireland condemns the decision by the Biden administration to greenlight the use of US-supplied long range ATACMS missiles against Russian territory, including Kursk. This move marks a dangerous escalation in the conflict, and is intended to provoke a retaliatory response, drawing the United States and its European clients closer to direct [...]
Sinn Féin conspired to hand over O'Devaney Gardens to private profiteers. Complaining about the results is sheer hypocrisy, says Garrett Greene, Workers' Party representative for Cabra-Glasnevin. Greene said: “Sinn Féin housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin has expressed outrage at the rents set for the so-called affordable, cost-rental housing units in O’Devaney Gardens. However, this is [...]
