A group calling itself the Islamic Labour Party of Ireland has launched a website declaring it will reform the country “from an Islamic perspective.”

The site’s constitution states that only Muslim men who hold Irish citizenship and possess extensive knowledge of Sharia can serve as party leader (Secretary-General). Membership is restricted to adult Muslims who have a recommendation from a mosque or Islamic center.

Ireland’s 2022 Census counted 81,930 Muslims, up roughly 32% from 63,443 in 2016.

The website claims a “shadow government” was established on 16 October 2026 “tasked with developing the plans and strategies necessary to govern the country.” It uses multiple names, including Islamic Labour Party of Ireland, Islamic Party of Ireland, and Islamic Party for Labour and Youth in Ireland. The domain was registered on 2 October 2025.

The Irish Electoral Commission has confirmed the group is not registered as a political party. No individual is publicly named as the Secretary-General or any other officer.

Pay attention. The stated goal is clear.
