Earlier tonight I was on Monday Night Soccer (RTE) discussing the Ringsend Riot in 1913 with Tony O’Donoghue. ANU productions also featured with their Dublin Tenement Experience scene dealing with the clash included. Larkin’s paper the Irish Worker denounced two footballers as scabs (Jack Millar and Jack Lowry, both appearing to be pseudonyms) and there was trouble in Ringsend when locked-out workers attempted to prevent a football match from taking place. This story featured recently on Newstalk, and thankfully with the centenary here at last this forgotten part of the story has been given plenty of attention. Our article is available to read here.
