The well attended event, which was part of this year's Gasyard Feile, saw three guest speakers, Bernadette McAliskey, Tommy McKearney and Dr Emmet O'Connor, music and discussion form an evening commemorating James Connolly, socialism and, as the evenings title stated, was a Celebration of Resistance.

What follows are video recordings of the contributions made by the three guest speakers.
