United Left was added to the official register of political parties in May 2013.[2][3] Its registered officers were Daly, Collins, Declan Bree of Sligo County Council and Pat Dunne of Dublin City Council, all formerly of the United Left Alliance.[3][4] As of December 2015, it is no longer a registered political party.
