About
The Irish Young Socialists were a Left activist group in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They formed the youth wing of the Labour Party, and members were involved in efforts to move Labour to the Left, and then later to the formation of Left organisations outside the Labour Party such as the Socialist Labour Alliance.
They had a publication called Youth Bulletin, which ran from 1970 to 1972.
