They demonstrated the power that workers have– these are overwhelmingly women with children and 20+ years in the job, who are risking arrest and an injunction from KPMG, to fight for what they knew was correct and just.

Connolly’s legacy has been claimed by many groups, but most concerning are recent attempts by unscrupulous individuals on Ireland’s far-right to rewrite history and exploit weaknesses in the Left’s social media tactics to amplify their hateful message out of proportion.
