'Activists in movements and the left often feel despair because they have never experienced successful mass struggles – unlike the Republic of Ireland. In 2014-16 working-class communities stopped the introduction of water charges through widespread direct action, while 2018 saw mass participation win abortion rights in the teeth of church power. Written by activists, this book tells these and other key stories of Irish movements and left groups as a key resource for struggles elsewhere' -- Laurence Cox, author of <i>We Make Our Own History: Marxism and Social Movements in the Twilight of Neoliberalism</i>
