Was Ireland's Easter Rising justified?

A debate organised by London Workers' Liberty

7.30pm, Thursday 18 June
The Lucas Arms, 245a Grays Inn Road, Kings Cross, London

93 years ago, Irish Republican and socialist revolutionaries organised an uprising
against British imperialism, the Easter Rising. Though it preceded the struggle which
eventually freed most of Ireland from British rule, at the time it won little popular
support and was crushed easily. So was the Rising justified?

Yes, justified; no, not immoral: Sean Matgamna, Workers' Liberty
No, not justified; yes, immoral: Ruth Dudley Edwards, historian and author

We will also discuss what the history can tell us about the politics of Ireland and
Northern Ireland today.
