On This Day, 13th December

Irish Left Archive

Comrades,

As this is the first National Congress of our party, it is the duty of the inaugural Central Committee to put on record the circumstances which gave rise to the founding of the party, and to report on its development and activity since that time.

The Socialist Party of Ireland was formed in Dublin on the 13th of December 1970.
