TheIndependent Socialist Party was afar leftpolitical party inIreland. It was founded in 1976 as a split from theIrish Republican Socialist Party named theIrish Committee for a Socialist Programme, calling for more prominentsocialist politics and less emphasis onparamilitary activity. The following year, it renamed itself the "Independent Socialist Party" and was joined by former UKMember of ParliamentBernadette McAliskey.

The party entered discussions with theSocialist Workers' Movement (SWM), with the aim of forming a joint organisation. A fusion was agreed but subsequently narrowly rejected by a membership conference. The SWM later, 1978, joined theSocialist Labour Party. As a result, the Independent Socialist Party decided to disband.^[1]
