As the Irish Left roar and shout about the travesty that is the cost of living crisis, never forget that they, with the government, advocated for policies which directly contributed to it. @Ben_Scallan comments.

James Connolly is often cited by the current liberal left movement as an icon, even though most of them either never believed in, or have ceased to believe in, Connolly’s goal of an independent sovereign Republic based on the generally understood concept of justice.
