Dublin Honours the Haymarket Martyrs

In what was one of the largest May Day demonstrations held in recent times, an event which mark the 140th anniversary of International Worker's Day and the Haymarket Massacre. Several members of the Industrial Workers of the World in Dublin gather afterwards at the Connolly Statue opposite Liberty Hall to mark the occasion.

A spokesperson for the IWW Ireland Branch said afterwards that "We would like to that everyone who came of today and marched with us and the labour movement to celebrate International Worker's Day.

"As the labour movement, and our class finds strength once again in it's ability to fight back against the bosses, in a unionised radical workers movement. We are reminded of the hero's of labour, of May Day and all those who have gone before us. Especially today, in the words of the one time IWW activist and organiser, Lucy Parsons when they declared "Strike not for a few cents more an hour, because the price of living will be raised faster still, but strike for all you earn, be content with nothing less".
