Writing in the Irish Worker on 14 March 1914, James Connolly said of the mooted partitioning of Ireland
Such a scheme as that agreed to by Redmond and Devlin, the betrayal of the national democracy of industrial Ulster would mean a carnival of reaction both North and South, would set back the wheels of progress, would destroy the oncoming unity of the Irish Labour movement and paralyse all advanced movements whilst it endured.
In this episode the Peadar O'Donnell Socialist Republican Forum convenes a discussion reflecting on the century following the 1922 Treaty and the solidification of partition ... as Connolly had predicted, a century of reaction. This conversation is chaired by political activist Patricia Campbell who is joined by Niall Bowen of the Tyrone Peoples' Dáil, Graham Harrington from the Communist Party of Ireland and Caoimhe NíLoinsigh a member of the Forum.
