2013 is the centenary of the 1913 Lockout in Dublin and much commentary has been made about the events over the past few months. As a contribution to the debate about the importance and legacy of the 1913 Lockout a new book on the 1913 Lockout will be launched at 6:30pm on Monday at Gutter Bookshop, Cows Lane, Temple Bar. Local launches of the book will occur at locations around the country over the following week. The book is being published by the Socialist Party and will be available nationwide.

6. A response by Joe Higgins TD to the a speech by SIPTU's Jack O'Connor at Jim Larkin's graveside earlier this year where, without a hint of shame, he claimed that Larkin would have supported the current strategy of trade union leaders like himself.
