James Connolly
For a number of years the Irish Democrat carried its very own 'Connolly Column', publishing edited extracts from the writings of the Irirish labour leader and revolutionary James Connolly. With the arrival on the web of the James Connolly Internet Archive, which contains most of Connolly's major works and journalism, there has become little point in persisting with the column. We are replacing it with a link to the James Connolly Internet Archive. We will continue to publish articles about the life, work and relevance of the great Irish labour leader (below).
