Display case in Leinster House

The Oireachtas Library & Research Service is exhibiting a copy of the Irish Labour Party’s general election manifesto published in September 1918.

The manifesto is addressed to the workers of Ireland, and refers to the fact that for most of them this would be their first time to vote in a general election.

The exhibition explains how the Labour Party went on to withdraw its candidates from the general election to allow the Irish people to vote on the national question.
