The Leader of the Labour Party is the most senior politician within the Labour Party in Ireland.
Since 24 March 2022, the office has been held by Ivana Bacik,[1] following the resignation of Alan Kelly as leader of the party.
In a review of procedures at the party's 2017 conference, the position of Deputy Leader was abolished after a year of lying vacant, and the nomination and seconding of new leadership candidates was extended to Senators and MEPs as well as TDs.
