"A capturing the sheer energy and diversity of the Irish left" - Conor McCabe

There is much knowledge to be gained from contemporary left-wing activism in Ireland. A rich tapestry of movements, including republicans, social democrats, trade unions, Trotskyists, and anarchists, have fervently fought against neoliberalism and austerity with zeal, frustration, success, and failure.

The Barriers of Victory documents these political currents, from the challenging early years of the anti-austerity campaign to the seismic victory of "Repeal" – the campaign for women's reproductive rights.

Each chapter covers a different campaign or group, written by leading activists who provide insider perspectives on how history was made and share valuable insights that can be applied to global movements everywhere.
