Democratic Left (Irish: Daonlathas Clé) was a left-wing political party in Ireland between 1992 and 1999.[2] It came into being after a split in the Workers' Party,[3] and after seven years in existence it was incorporated into the Labour Party in 1999.[4] Democratic Left served in a three-party coalition government with Fine Gael and the Labour Party, termed the Rainbow Coalition, from December 1994 to June 1997.[5]
