James Connolly Commemoration and Lecture

category national | history and heritage | event notice author Wednesday May 08, 2013 10:22author by JK - éirígí Report this post to the editors

2013 James Connolly Commemoration,

Sunday 12th May.

Assemble at Arbour Hill cemetery, Dublin, at 12.30pm.

Followed by James Connolly Commemorative Lecture

3pm, 12th May, The Cobblestone.

Public Lecture on the revolutionary politics of 1913-1916. Speakers to include Aindrias O' Cathasaigh(Historian and author of a number of books including '1916 Seachtar na Casca', 'Daol na Réabhlóide' and 'James Connolly- The Lost Writings') and Dick Carroll (Lifelong socialist republican activist and member of the Independent Worker's Union; grandson of councillor Richard Carroll).

Organised by éirígí.

All Welcome.


éirígí will mark the ninety-seventh anniversary of the execution of James Connolly with a commemorative event in Arbour Hill Cemetery in Dublin, on Sunday May 12, at 12.30pm.

Speaking from Dublin, Cathaoirleach éirígí Brian Leeson said, “James Connolly continues to be an inspiration and a guide to Irish socialist republicans. Since its foundation in 2006 éirígí has made the annual pilgrimage to Arbour Hill, to pay tribute to Connolly’s courage, determination and foresight, and to rededicate ourselves to the principles of Irish socialist republicanism.

“The annual commemoration is éirígí’s national event to honour all those who gave their lives in the fight for Irish freedom and in previous years has attracted socialist republicans from across Ireland and beyond.

“This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the great Dublin Lockout, when Connolly and Larkin led the workers of Dublin in an epic battle against capitalism. A century later, socialist republicans are still involved in that same fight in communities across Ireland.”

Leeson continued, “A lot can be learned Connolly’s writings, lessons that are as relevant today as they were at the time of their writing. That is why this year’s commemoration is so important. Not only will we honour the sacrifice of our patriot dead, we will also commit ourselves to today’s struggle against the same forces of capitalism which Connolly battled.

“I would encourage people from across Ireland to join éirígí in paying tribute to James Connolly on May 12. Join us at 12.30pm at Arbour Hill and get involved in building a strong, militant socialist republican movement that will finish the business of 1913 and 1916.”
