Putting Irish unity first - a response‏

UNISON Active readers may not be aware of the recent death of Tomas Mac Giolla, former President of the Workers’ Party, who made a major contribution towards peace and working class politics in Ireland.

President Michael Finnegan, the current Workers’ Party President said that Tomás Mac Giolla was a greatly underestimated figure in Irish politics who played a key role in the struggle for civil rights and democracy in Northern Ireland and for people’s rights throughout Ireland and internationally.
