Weatherday: Limerick together

A dry day with sunny spells this morning and late afternoon. Some cloud in between.

Temperatures 11-13deg in light variable breezes. Cool late tonight.

On this day in 1919, the Limerick Soviet began a general strike in protest against British militarism in Ireland. It lasted three weeks, with the local Trades Council running the city, and the Soviet publishing their own newspaper and issuing their own currency.
