It is almost 100 years to the day since 14,000 workers in Limerick went on strike in protest at the British army imposing martial law.

Siptu will host a programme of cultural events to commemorate the 1916 Rising and the role that its headquarters Liberty Hall played in it.

AN anti-government protest has been organised to coincide with the state’s Easter 1916 commemoration outside the GPO in Dublin tomorrow.

Proposals to sell Liberty Hall in Dublin have been sharply criticised by the Labour Party.
