1913 Centenary – upcoming events
Thanks to everybody who attended the weekend events in the Sean O’Casey Community Centre and The Ferryman , celebrating Dock Workers and their Trade Unions . We particularly want to thank Francie Devine for the talk , Paul O’Brien and Diarmuid Breatnach for the singing , and Bas Ó Curraoin for filming the talk ( which will be available shortly).
Flo, Mary, Josie enthralled by Francie

With this year being the centenary of the 1913 Lockout the East Wall History Group will be holding more events and a commemoration based on local incidents from this period . If you have any ideas or material to contribute on this topic please contact us at eastwallhistory@gmail.com
See below for an upcoming history of Irish Women Workers which may be of interest , and also a lockout related writing competition which some of our local talent should be encouraged to enter .
