A key factor in Sligo was the support of the local Nationalist establishment for the union. This was, it appears, due to the perception that they had a common enemy - the non-Catholic businessmen who controlled the docks and the shipping. Well done also John on your work in this area! Michael Wheatley's "Nationalism and the Irish Party: Provincial Ireland 1910-1916" (Oxford, 2005), is also good on the political situation in Sligo town at the time. I should also mention my recently published "Sligo: The Irish Revolution 1912-1923" (Four Courts Press, 2012) which also deals with the strike and the shorter strike in 1911. Well done Padraig.

There's an an account of the strike (& a simultaneous one in Galway) with contexts in my book, Labour in the West of Ireland, 1890-1914. I'm booked to give a talk on this Sligo on Mayday Good to see that Sligo 1913 dispute is getting attention.
