Interview with Irish Socialist Network Laura Duffy When did the Irish Socialist Network form? In the late 1980's/early 1990's there was a small group within the Workers Party, which was for all its faults a mass party at least in the South at the time, moving towards a more radical socialist position. Unfortunately the split in the movement in 1992 came too early and the radical left went in different directions, either into Democratic Left or Workers Party, or as individuals to somewhere else. We all then, at one stage or another left the organisations we had been in, either the WP or the Democratic Left, especially when that party went into government. Our origins are in the death throes of the WP and a few years later we wanted to get re-involved in the radical left but didn't see any of the existing organisations as being a suitable home for us. We decided to set up the Irish Socialist Network in 2001. [Fourthwrite: Interview with Irish Socialist Network] Comments: 8:50:13 PM
