Labour Youth (LY) is the youth wing of the Irish political party the Labour Party of Ireland, representing a youth voice within the Labour Party.
It replaced an earlier organisation, the Young Labour League. Labour Youth tended to be more left-wing than the Party leaders during the 1970s and 1980s. During the late 1980s onwards Labour Youth was much less of a radical voice. The 1990s saw Labour Youth change and reestablished after the DL merger. In recent times Labour Youth have opposed a coalition agreement with Fine Gael unless Labour is the larger party.
