“Gibbons’ research makes an important contribution not just to Labour’s Irish policy, but to the development of the party from a formative movement in industrial areas to a party capable of governing. … In this regard it should be held in high esteem amongst the expansive literature on the party. … Gibbons’ book is likely to be recognised as a significant contribution to both Labour and Anglo-Irish studies, field that looks likely to expand in the coming years.” (Keith Mcloughlin, Australasian Journal of Irish Studies, bsls.ac.uk, Vol. 17, 2017)
