Abstract: This text involves an attempt to bridge progressive academic scholarship with activist groups and communities in Ireland. It examines Irish society, as much as it is possible to do so, from the point of view of those who are actively fighting against ongoing attacks on the rights that were won by working people in the 20th century.
