Political party

Militant Left is a Trotskyist political party active in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. After a split, in 2019, in the Committee for a Workers' International (1974), the group was founded by former members of the Socialist Party who wished to affiliate to the 'refounded' Committee for a Workers' International (2019). Initially known as CWI Ireland, it renamed itself Militant Left in 2020.[1]

The group has no public representatives. Donal O'Cofaigh, initially elected as a Cross-Community Labour Alternative candidate,[2][3] served as a councillor on Fermanagh and Omagh District Council[4] for one term, from 2019 until 2023.

As of February 2021, Militant Left was not included on the register of political parties in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.[5][6]
