Labour Party (Ireland) Front Bench
The Labour Party is the second-largest political party in the Oireachtas. The Labour Party leader appoints a team of TDs and Senators to speak for the party on different issues. When the Labour Party was in opposition, the front bench areas of responsibility broadly corresponded to those of Government ministers. The Labour Party has been in Government since March 2011 and accordingly their front bench consists of the ministerial officeholders.

—William Booth (1829–1912)
“The success of a party means little more than that the Nation is using the party for a large and definite purpose.... It seeks to use and interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“In front of these sinister facts, the first lesson of history is the good of evil. Good is a good doctor, but Bad is sometimes a better.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
