The Belfast Labour Party was a political party in Belfast, Ireland from 1892 until 1924.
It was founded in 1892 by a conference of Belfast Independent Labour activists and trade unionists.[1]
Labour ran the Unionist Party close in Belfast North in a by-election in 1905 and in the general election of 1906 with William Walker as its candidate.[2][3]
The party won 12 seats on Belfast Corporation in 1920, but later lost these.[4] Suffragette, Independent Labour and Co-operative activist Margaret McCoubrey in 1920 was elected a Labour councillor for the Dock ward of Belfast.[5] Nonetheless, the party came a very close second in Belfast West in the 1923 UK general election before merging with others to become the Northern Ireland Labour Party.
