The Spring 2007 issue of Labour Youth's internal publication, "The Left Tribune," shows support for abortion and same sex marriage, along with contributions from Michael D. Higgins. In the 2007 General Election Labour Youth opposed a pre-election pact with the centre-right party Fine Gael. Also in 2007, it supported the Venezuelan revolution. In 2009, Labour Youth criticised the then government's attitude to education. The Autumn 2007 issue of "The Left Tribune" promotes Labour Youth's support of Cuba and its endorsement of the International Brigade in Spain, with then Labour Youth Recruitment Officer Enda Duffy featuring in a photograph of a panel at a commemoration event and the noted naming of the UCD Labour Youth branch in honour of Michael O'Riordan. Also in 2009, it collaborated with CYM (linked with the Communist Party) on environmental campaigns. The group undertook an active and visible role in the 2011 Irish General Election in support of young candidates such as Ciara Conway, Patrick Nulty and Derek Nolan. They later called on the Party to abandon talks on forming a coalition government with Fine Gael, describing the proposal as undemocratic.
