In 1913, Dublin became the centre of one of the most brutal labour conflicts in European history.
Over 20,000 workers were locked out of their jobs for daring to join a union.
Employers, led by newspaper magnate William Martin Murphy, cut off wages to force submission.
Families starved. Children were sent abroad. Police batons answered peaceful protests.
This wasn’t just a strike — it was economic warfare.
Although the workers ultimately returned defeated, the Lockout changed Ireland forever:
• It radicalised a generation
• It reshaped trade union power
• It pushed many toward nationalism and rebellion
• And it laid the groundwork for modern Irish labour rights
The 1913 Lockout failed in the short term —
but in the long term, it exposed the true cost of unchecked power.
