Our Fighting Story!

From the United Irishmen to the Fenians, from the Irish Citizen Army to the Republican Congress, Dublin South Central has a rich radical republican and socialist history.

Across Ballyfermot and Crumlin, the Liberties, Inchicore and Bluebell the streets of Dublin South Central are bursting with the heroic deeds of local republicans and socialists. Strikes, bombs, ammunition raids, gun battles, open warfare and the popular involvement of the community, every area has its own story to tell. We hope this blog can play a small part in putting our community back in touch with our revolutionary history and teach a new generation of its role in Ireland's fight for freedom.

Through songs and stories, pictures, the personal accounts of those who took part and historical and contemporary articles, we hope to bring that history to life so as it can be appreciated by the local community.

We welcome articles and stories relevant to the republican and socialist history of Dublin South Central. Anyone who would like to contribute can forward an email to Dscfightingstory@gmail.com
