Conor Kostick - Revolution in Ireland 1917-23

Conor Kostick was radicalised by the British miners' strike of 1984-5 and became an activist for the Socialist Workers Party both in the UK and - after moving in 1990 - in Ireland. A former editor of Socialist Worker in Ireland, he now teaches history part-time at Trinity College Dublin and writes fiction. His historical works include 'The Easter Rising - A guide to Dublin in 1916' (with Lorcan Collins) and 'Revolution in Ireland - Popular Militancy, 1917-1923'. He was, for ten years, a guide on the popular Easter Rising walking tour in Dublin.

The talk will take place in Gort na Móna CLG, Springfield Road, Belfast.

It will be followed by a traditional music session.
