'Noel Browne can say what he likes about the Pope', Labour and Religion in
Ireland
by Dr. Niamh Puirseil.
Chairperson: Tom Wall
ABSTRACT
It has often been said of the Irish Labour Party that it was little more
than the political wing of the St Vincent de Paul organisation. This religious
influence is certainly not unique to the Labour Party in this country. After
all, it is said of the Labour Party in Britain that it owes more to Methodism
than Marx. This paper traces the impact of religion on the Labour Party's
policies and rhetoric over the decades from the Protestant influences of
the Labour leadership in the 1920s to the Cold War Catholicism of 1950s to the
influence of Pope John XXIII in the 1960s.
Niamh Puirséil is a graduate of UCD and has worked as a research fellow in
the Centre for Contemporary Irish History, Trinity College Dublin. She is Vice
President of the Irish Labour History Society and an editor of the ILHS journal
Saothar. Her book, The Irish Labour Party, 1922-1973 will be published later
this year by UCD Press.
