The Workers Party, also called the Workers Party of Ireland (WPI), is a Marxist–Leninist communist party operating in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It was founded as a result of a split from the Workers' Party in April 2021.[2] The party's youth organization is called Workers Party Youth.
The Workers Party was among the founding parties of the European Communist Action (ECA), at the founding meeting which took place on 18 November 2023 at the headquarters of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) in Athens, and has been participating in it ever since.[1][3] It also participates in the "SolidNet" list of the International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties (IMCWP), where the original Workers' Party, which it split from, is listed as the "official".[4]
