"Win came thanks to a coalition of long-neglected groups, including Irish-speakers, women, carers and renters"

Win came thanks to a coalition of long-neglected groups, including Irish-speakers, women, carers and renters. Catherine Connolly spoke at a Palestine protest in Dublin in May. The protest took place at lunchtime outside the Central Bank with perhaps thirty people in attendance. She attended despite there being no chance of media coverage and began her remarks in fluent Irish. Two details stood out: her presence at a low-profile event and her use of Irish to open the speech.
