===Larkin, Connolly and Irish Labour Party===
Another important figure in the rise of an organised workers' movement in Ireland at the time was [[James Connolly]], an [[Edinburgh]]-born [[Marxist]] of Irish parentage. A talented orator and a fine writer, he became known for his speeches on the streets of Dublin in support of socialism and Irish nationalism. In 1896, Connolly established the [[Irish Socialist Republican Party]] and the newspaper ''The Workers' Republic''. In 1911, Connolly was appointed the ITGWU's Belfast organiser. In 1912, Connolly and Larkin formed the [[Labour Party (Ireland)|Irish Labour Party]] to represent workers in the imminent [[Home Rule Act 1914|Home Rule Bill]] debate in the [[British Parliament]]. Home rule, although passed in the House of Commons, was postponed by the start of the [[First World War]]. The plan was then suspended for one year, then indefinitely, after the rise of [[Irish republicanism|militant nationalism]] after the [[1916 Rising]].
