  • Summary

  • Nervous State returns, with our special episode on the state of Irish labour politics in 2022.


    The 1990 Industrial Relations Act is the most important piece of legislation that you've never heard of, and defines why Irish trade unionism is in the state it's in. Patrick McCusker spoke to Jimmy Doran of Trade Union Left Forum about how this came about, and what is to be done.


    The Debenham's strike lasted for 406 days, and was the longest running picket in Irish history. Patrick McCusker caught up with two strikers to hear the story of the strike, to find out where things are at now, how Mandate failed them, and what the legacy of the strike could be going forward.


    James O'Toole recently published a new manifesto for the Labour movement, entitled "The Return of Class War Trade Unionism". Lucas Spiro met him to discuss the contents of this, the weakness of the Irish labour party and why a return to class war trade unionism is crucial to addressing the problems of today.
