I’ve always been fascinated by the Limerick Soviet, not by its failures or successes but by the energy and spirit in which it unfolded. Struggle, defiance, audacity and comradery demonstrated by ordinary citizens, united by a fierce civic pride. New print out next week.

Jim Kemmy's 'Limerick Socialist' articles on the Limerick Soviet.

[Conor McCabe @CMacCaba]

The original Limerick Soviet articles written by Jim Kemmy in the Limerick Socialist 1972-3. He was the first person to really write about the event afaik - a task taken up by Liam Cahill from 1979 onwards & by Raynar Lysaght (who unfortunately did not acknowledge Kemmy's work)
