It's been a while since our latest episode but we're back.

Our producer Liam McNulty has just had a new book published which will be of interest to Labour Days listeners.

James Connolly: Socialist, Nationalist, and Internationalist by Liam McNulty is published by Merlin Press. You can order it here: https://www.merlinpress.co.uk/page/forthcoming-books

It takes a look at one of the key figures in Irish labour movement history, James Connolly, who has featured in a number of our episodes.

This is a short preview in which Liam introduces and reads an extract from the book, made exclusively available to Labour Days listeners.

A full episode discussing the book and its relevance to those active in the labour movement will follow.

For now, over to Liam!
