Following a three-day siege, a #FarRight #Catholic mob destroyed #ConnollyHouse, the headquarters to the #RevolutionaryWorkersGroups, #ThisDayInHistory in 1933 during the #DublinRiot. #Anticommunist zealots burnt the building and attacked other #leftist locations across the city.

The Draft Constitution and Rules of Saor Éire: https://www.leftarchive.ie/document/6252/

Saor Éire was a short-lived left Republican and communist organisation founded by members of the IRA in 1931. Notable among its founders were Peadar O’Donnell, Frank Ryan and George Gilmore.

It brought together members of the Revolutionary Workers’ Groups (RWG), which was chiefly Dublin-based, and the Irish Working Farmers’ Congress (IWFC), which had been established by O’Donnell in 1930 and was associated with Krestintern, the Peasants International.
