But it’s a strange day to commemorate a guy who wasn’t actually Irish and everyone tries to express what Irishness means with varying success of accuracy.

This week we bring you a panel discussion entitled, ‘To the Daring Belongs the Future: Women, Anarchism, Feminism, and Ireland’ from the Belfast Anarchist Bookfair, held a couple of weeks back.
