Marking the life of an Irish revolutionary

Today on the 150th anniversary of the birth of Irish patriot, revolutionary and labour leader James Connolly it is as important as ever to reflect on his life and works.
Connolly stated that "the two currents of revolutionary thought In Ireland, the socialist and the national , are not antagonistic but complementary“ and he dedicated his life to those democratic struggles – the freedom of Ireland and the emancipation of the working class.
Neither of these struggles have reached completion and both continue to this day.
