I had the pleasure of helping bring the O'Brien/New Theatre archive to Maynooth - international socialism, the Spanish Civil War, artistic spats and more: there's a great doctoral project on it for someone seeking to apply to IRC/Hume at Maynooth

It’s great that grandad’s archive is in Maynooth where researchers are actively engaging with his extraordinary life, and those of other brave Irish anti-fascists in the 1930s and beyond.
¡No pasaran! To celebrate the news from France, some photos from the poet and anti-fascist Tom O'Brien's archive in @SCA_MULibrary

#Macron's call for legislative elections has rocked #Frenchpolitics. #Extremeright support is high, risks of Le Pen's deputy becoming PM loom. Will the left unite? What's next for the Gaullist right? Join
