The [[Workers' Party]] formerly '''Official Sinn Féin''' is a left-wing political party in Ireland.

The CAIN website at the University of Ulster describes the party's evolution:
::The Workers' Party (WP) grew out of Official Sinn Féin which was considered the political wing of the [[Official Irish Republican Army]] (OIRA). The Workers' Party is organised in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland with the Northern section being semi-autonomous. The organisation is a Socialist / Marxist Republican party which arose from the "Official" majority faction which remained loyal to the then leadership of Sinn Féin in the 1969-70 split. At that time the Northern section of Sinn Féin operated under the name Republican Clubs and following the split became know as Official Republican Clubs (then Republican Clubs the Workers' Party; then Sinn Féin the Workers' Party; finally in 1982 the Workers' Party).<ref>[http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/othelem/organ/worgan.htm Abstracts on Organisations - 'W'], Conflict Archive on the Internet, accessed 26 September 2009.</ref>
