A small update to our Timeline of the Irish Left today, to reflect the recent relaunch of the International Marxist Tendency (IMT) as the Revolutionary Communist International (RCI) and the consequent renaming of the Irish section, the Revolutionary Communists of Ireland.

The timeline aims to show the history of left parties and organisations in Ireland. If you spot any errors or omissions or have any suggestions, please get in touch!

#OnThisDay 19th of July 1984, Mary Manning, a worker in Dunnes Stores, refused to handle fruit imported from South Africa in protest against apartheid, following a decision taken by IDATU members the previous day.

When suspended, she and other members of the IDATU union at the shop went on strike. The strike continued until April 1987 when the import of South African goods was banned.
