Campaign for Labour Representation in Northern Ireland

A campaign set up in 1977 to try to persuade the British Labour Party to organise and stand for election in Northern Ireland. Currently it is not possible for anyone living in Northern Ireland to become a member of the Labour Party. The CLRNI was to act as a model for groups with similar objectives such as the Campaign for Equal Citizenship (CEC). The CLRNI endorsed 13 candidates in the District Council elections in May 1993 but only one, Mark Langhammer, was elected. The group decided to dissolve on 23 September 1993 having failed in its central aim.
