Éirígí And The 1916 Societies To Hold Joint James Connolly Commemoration In Dublin
“For our demands most moderate are, we only want the earth.” - James Connolly
On the 110th anniversary of his execution by the British, Éirígí - For A New Republic and the 1916 Societies will be holding a joint commemoration for the great James Connolly at Arbour Hill Cemetery in Dublin City.
On the 12th of May 1916, with Connolly strapped to a chair because the injuries he sustained in the fighting prevented him from standing, the British shot the great James Connolly to death.
Today, Republicans must continue the fight James Connolly fought - to build a revolutionary Republican party of theory and of action - to challenge discrimination, injustice and exploitation - to stand with the oppressed against the oppressor - to build popular support for and momentum towards A New Republic. Bígí Linn!
Location - Arbour Hill Cemetery, Dublin City.
Time & Date - Saturday, 9th of May 2026, 12:30PM.
