The Lord Mayor of Dublin attended the ceremony in Ringsend today, alongside Connolly's great grandson James Connolly Heron.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL has unveiled a plaque dedicated to socialist revolutionary and signatory of the 1916 Proclamation James Connolly outside a house the former leader once lived in.
Connolly later served as the commandant of the Easter Rising’s Dublin Brigade and was wounded in the leg during the fighting. Also speaking at the unveiling was the general secretary of SIPTU, Joe Cunningham, the successor trade union to the Irish Transport and General Workers Union which Connolly was a part of.“Connolly’s commitment to socialism and broad experience as a trade union organiser in Britain and the United States ensured that the interests of working people were incorporated in the 1916 Proclamation.”
