Dockers’ procession and mass in Dublin

The Dublin Dockers’ Preservation Society organised a procession and mass to commemorate dockers and their contribution to building the port and city.

On Saturday evening (April 20th, 2013) current and former dockers turned up in great numbers, with their families, to march down Seville Place to the church of St Lawrence O’Toole’s on Sherriff Street. The mass included an evening of remembrance, with song and reflections. This was followed by a Dockers photographic exhibition in the local Sherriff Street Hall. There was great support from local councillors and TDs, including Emer Costello MEP, Maureen O’Sullivan TD, Councillor Anna Quigley and SIPTU President Jack O’Connor.
