“He fought for the loaf of bread as no man before him had ever fought; but, with the loaf of bread, he also brought the flask of wine and the book of verse.” Huge turnout for our #LarkinLives commemoration today in Glasnevin. Thank you to all comrades for coming & organising.

Larkin had the a heart of a lion, a wonderful mind and was a great socialist. Next Saturday morning we celebrate the life and legacy of the Larkin's in Glasnevin with speeches and special performances. All welcome. Here's the late, great Jer O'Leary performing as Big Jim.

We need to keep coming out in solidarity with our Palestinian sisters and brothers and to show our incoming government that they must sanction Israel for its genocidal crimes against them. See you on the 25th, all out! #FreePalestine #SanctionsNow
