Some who read Eoghan Harris’s thoughts at the weekend might have been a tad surprised at the mention of this which will be of interest to many of us. Some familiar and welcome names involved.
Indeed you’d wonder what EH makes of the most recent post on union recognition.

Larkin and Connolly were both socialists and nationalists. Connolly became a member of the IRB as part of the deal on a joint Rising.
