The Sights & Story of Limerick's General Strike 1919 On Easter Saturday April 11th those interested in the history of Limerick and labour struggles get a unique opportunity to join a free walking tour of the sights of the Limerick Soviet. The tour, guided by local historian and expert in the period, Dominic Haugh, is being organized to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the momentous general strike in Limerick. In the weeks around Easter in April 1919, workers throughout Limerick took strike action in against British militarism and the imposition of martial law in the area. During this general strike, workers took control of the running of the city, running shops, factories and even printing their own money! As a result, the Trades Coucil became known as the ‘Limerick Soviet’. These events shook not only the city but the entire country, and became a focal point for workers, trade unionists and socialists throughout the country.
