Why Are the Irish Media Ignoring an Apparent Islamist Knife Attack? Sat Aug 09, 2025 09:00 | Andrew Devine
When a man in Dublin stabs a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" you can be pretty sure it's not the work of an indigenous Irishman. So why are the media at pains to pretend it is, asks Andrew Devine.

British TV grows more and more unwatchable with each passing day. That might be because BAFTA is on a mission to transform every TV show into climate propaganda ? and it's just stepped up a gear, says Steven Tucker.

Gen Z?s Dangerous Addiction to ?Buy Now Pay Later? Fri Aug 08, 2025 17:00 | Mary Gilleece
Gen Z is hooked on Klarna, says Mary Gilleece ? the seductive app that uses 'Buy Now Pay Later' to let users splash out with money they don't have. It's a debt-fuelled disaster waiting to happen.

The West is Losing Its Head Over Israel Fri Aug 08, 2025 15:00 | Clive Pinder
Even the Arab League has refused to recognise a State of Palestine while Hamas is still in power ? a clarity lost on the compromised leaders of the West. Israel urgently needs to improve its PR, says Clive Pinder.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8A very valuable seminar, where many issues relating to the past were dealt with in an honest and forthright way. The Party is clearly setting itself at the forefront of Republican Socialism. Following from its success in the Lisbon referendum it intends to be the vanguard of the left both in the upcoming local elections and Lisbon 2.
Its clear that the analysis put forward by the Officials in the 70's is becoming more correct as the days pass.
"Following from its success in the Lisbon referendum it intends to be the vanguard of the left both in the upcoming local elections and Lisbon 2."
The WP is a tiny organisation and played a small part in the anti Lisbon campaign. Apart from wAterford the WP will get joke votes in both the Euro and local elections.
"Its clear that the analysis put forward by the Officials in the 70's is becoming more correct as the days pass. "
What analysis? Killing Seamus Costello? Bombing Aldershot? being the first to use proxy bombs? Being the first to target civilians working in RUC stations?
Malachy you are not dealing with fools here. The degeneration of OSF/OIRA from a militant Republican organisation into a willing supporter of British imperialism has not been forgotten.
Cathal Goulding even called for internment and supported extradition. A true agent of Britih Imperialism.
I find this amazing that the Workers party are still in existence. I have never seen a leaflet of theirs, never seen a candidate at the door, never heard them comment on tv or radio. Thankfully most of the people in the Photo are old, and time will take care of them.
I must say that the responses to this are surprising for people who seem to think the WP is so irrelevant. Our relevance is proved by the spleen coming from these trolls. It is a respectable size crowd that any small party would be happy to see especially as it is composed almost entirely of members rather than people to fill seats and was held a few days after Christmas.
The comments are predictable and almost certainly come from predictable sources that hate all the WP stands for, despise its socialist republicanism and rejection of sectarianism. The Workers' Party totally opposes imperialism whether that be British, US or of any other brand and it also rejects fascist nationalism - the real source for the vitriol from the anonymous correspondents above. Cathal Goulding correctly pointed out the consequences of a sectarian war while continued that war for 30 years of sterie sectarian murder only to end up going into coalition with the most right wing party on the island of Ireland, the DUP. Their mercs and perks belie their expressed socialism.
No folks, the Workers' Party is not going away. We refuse to crawl off the stage to suit the neo-history of fascist nationalism. We are recruiting new members all the time and some were at this meeting although it was mainly people who struggled together with Cathal Goulding and knew him.
Are you serious, you are accusing me of being a fascist ?? because I have never met a member of the workers party or received a piece of literature from ye. Time to come back from whatever planet you are on. You are living in the past, on about the split and the analysis of the officials. 99% of young people would say "the who?". Bitterness only keeps one locked in a certain time and thought frame, where everyone is against you because they are "fascist nationalists". Get over yourself.
P.S. I googled your website, there is virtually no policies, no details, the site is not even aligned properly, there is a red dot on the text section of the page for some reason. There is 4 different text fonts in the text box on the front page alone, with a hyper link highlighted in yellow. Please tell me your 12 year old son did the site, or maybe it was a Church inspired sabotage to discredit the party. If your website looks like it was done by a child in 1997, no one will take you seriously.
It is a pity that the seminar was just for workers party members. many outside the wp have respect for goulding a public meeting would have been more broadly attended. Looking forward to the booklet on the seminar
The Workers Party - the party of eoin harris policies. Their councillor in Waterford even voted for the bin tax. Stick with the touting lads, the only thing your were good at !
As for Malachy " osf-rsf-irsp-yd-wp " Steenson. More parties than mcdonalds.
The Workers' Party councillor in Waterford Davy Walsh was the only one of the 15 members of Waterford to vote against the service charges (bin tax) in last month's Estimates. Get your facts right.
Sinn Féin and former WP councillor John Halligan, who was thrown out of the party because he refused to oppose the charges last year, all voted for the bin tax this year along with Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Labour Party.
