Paul Murphy's RISE party has joined up with People Before Profit.

Mr Murphy, who is the only elected RISE representative, says his party will move into the larger People Before Profit group after negotiations between the two sides and will be "working together to try and build People Before Profit as a mass broad eco-socialist party".
