Ruth Coppinger elected to the Irish parliament<\/strong><\/p>\n

Socialistworld.net and staff reporters<\/p>\n

The Socialist Party (CWI) in Ireland has won a significant success with the election of Ruth Coppinger in a by-election to the D\u00e1il, the Irish parliament. Ruth\u2019s electoral district is Dublin West, where she has been a local councillor and is also the same constituency that Joe Higgins is a D\u00e1il member for. This victory was the result of the Socialist Party\u2019s campaigning work over years, the undermining of support for establishment capitalist politicians and the recent collapse in support for the Irish Labour Party as a result of being in a pro-austerity coalition government with Fine Gail.<\/p>\n

In local elections across Ireland held at the same time as the elections to the European Parliament there were also big\u00a0gains for the newly launched Anti Austerity Alliance (AAA) within which the Socialist Party is a driving force. A total of 14 city councillors were elected for the AAA in cities including Dublin, Cork and Limerick.<\/p>\n
