The Irish left (people)

I agree with the Irish left mainly on civil liberties (for example, the blasphemy law). I disagree with them primarily on the economy, crime, and foreign policy.

Some of the following have noble records in fighting for sexual and religious freedom in Ireland, the rights of gays and atheists, separation of church and state, opposition to censorship, and so on.

But that does not mean that their foreign policy or economic ideas make any sense.




Search for historical statements by the Irish left


For reasons I discuss elsewhere, the Irish left is far more likely than the Irish right to make embarrassing statements supporting foreign non-democrats (such as Cuba, Nicaragua, Palestine, Libya, Vietnam and the Soviet Union). Such statements need to be remembered.
