The short-lived but influential Irish Women's Liberation Movement is known for events such as the Contraception Train and an appearance on The Late Late Show that reportedly descended into a shouting match with Garret FitzGerald of Fine Gael. It was renamed Women's Liberation Movement in 1972, though members also formed other groups at that time.
