Description

Writing in the Irish Worker on 14 March 1914, James Connolly said of the mooted partitioning of Ireland


Such a scheme as that agreed to by Redmond and Devlin, the betrayal of the national democracy of industrial Ulster would mean a carnival of reaction both North and South, would set back the wheels of progress, would destroy the oncoming unity of the Irish Labour movement and paralyse all advanced movements whilst it endured.


In this episode the Peadar O'Donnell  Socialist Republican Forum convenes a discussion reflecting on the century following the 1922 Treaty and  the solidification of  partition ...  as Connolly had predicted, a century of reaction.  This conversation is chaired by  political activist Patricia Campbell who is joined by Niall Bowen of the Tyrone Peoples' Dáil,  Graham Harrington from the Communist Party of Ireland and Caoimhe NíLoinsigh  a member of the Forum.
