    Lockout Dublin 1913 by Padraig Yeates is probably the most comprehensive history of the lockout availabe at the moment.

    I am sure we will see some more stuff published as the year goes on. I know that the Socialist Party are publishing a extensive pamphlet on this period in the near future.

    Lockout is the standard work, I think there is a new edition out, there is also a recently published book , I think the title is capital in crisis ed. francisndevine published by then city council which is a collection of essays.

    I recommend Rebel City: Larkin, Connolly, and the Dublin Labour Movement by John Newsinger. I read it not too long ago, and found it a concise and informative book on the labour movement. While it isn't exclusively about Larkin, it does cover the lockout. An absorbing read IMO.

    I'd recommend Lockout and also www.womenworkersunion.ie. Strumpet City is fantastic as well for its insights into life at the time of the lockout.

    If drama is anyone's thing I've written a play on the lockout which will premiere this week as part of Ten Days in Dublin. Tickets are just €10/8 and available from http://entertainment.ie/tickets/listings.asp?q=scabs&search=Search. The play is being performed in the Pearse Centre, Pearse Street (the house where Padraic Pearse was born!), Thur-Sat at 8.30 pm.
