| | Second Comintern Congress |
 | | The Irish Labour Party and Trade Union Congress, acting through its local Trades Councils, emerged from the municipal elections as the second party in numerical strength, and of the labour members elected the ITandGWU secured an overwhelming majority. | | | It functions nationally through the Irish Trade Union Congress and Labour Party, and locally through Trades Councils, composed of representatives of the various unions in the district. | | | This solidifies the domination of the Irish Labour Party and Trade Union Congress by the ITandGWU, which gave to it its present form and programme. |

| | Copyright © Trades Union Congress 2005, unless otherwise stated | | | We all understand the difficulties that Labour has if voters think unions are 'running the country'. | | | I sense a widespread feeling around the union world that the government has not done enough on our agenda, and is too often, too ready to listen to business lobbyists - though I would readily admit that business organisations do not always seem to agree with this analysis. |
