Sunday week, the 30th of May, I will be one of the guides on a walking tour taking in some of the radical history of Dublin city centre.
The Walking Tour is taking place as part of the Fifth Dublin Anarchist Bookfair, hosted by the Workers Solidarity Movement. Many of our readers here have a keen interest in radical history, and talks like “A History of Irish Revolutions” (Conor Kostick) and “The Lost Revolution – the Success & Failures of the Workers Party” (Brian Hanley and Scott Millar) at the bookfair are of particular note in that field.
The tour is completely free (I felt the need to ‘bold’ that, students eh?) and I would hope will end with some good discussion. Many of my own chosen sites have a particular focus on Dublin through the revolutionary years, with some unusual War of Independence and Civil War sites. Union history, feminist history, student history and much more besides will feature.
So, come meet dfallon in real life ( “Him? Really?”), learn something new, and enjoy a walk around our lovely and historic city.
The tour has a Facebook event page, here.

Hi Helen! I hope you’re well.
I work for ‘Historical Insights’ providing walking tours, their contact details are over at: http://www.historicalinsights.ie . Drop the company a mail and let them know what you’re looking for and ask for me (Donal Fallon!)
Thanks very much for your reply – we are now in Dublin and hope to join you on Saturday outside the Front entrance of Trinity! Up to 9 people will join you.
KEEP IT RADICAL!
Hi Helen! You checked out the ‘Historical Insights’ tour site then? Our standard tour leaves at 11 from the front of Trinity. I don’t work every day however, I am working Sunday AND Monday ahead. I’d love to meet you if either of those days suit. You can book private tours through the company. I’m just one of the guides as opposed to running the show, but the company are great to deal with.
