At 9.40 on the morning of the 26th of August, 1913, members of the Irish Transport and General Workers’ Union working for the Dublin United Tramway Company abandoned their trams in the vicinity of O’Connell Street. This became the first skirmish in what was to become known as the Dublin Lockout, or simply as 1913. During 2013 communities large and small throughout Ireland have hosted various events to commemorate this historic event not only in Labour history or Dublin history, but National history. The extent of the impact of this historic event is indicated by the fact that it is even being commemorated in the UK by a major conference.
On the 100th anniversary of the events considered the start of the Lockout Miltown Malbay has organised a small informal commemoration of its own. Dr. John Cunningham of the National University of Ireland, Galway, a noted scholar on labour history, has agreed to be guest speaker at an evening of history, music, poetry and song commencing at 9pm on the evening of the 26th of August in the Markethouse, Miltown Malbay.
