Our building is undergoing urgent remedial work due to Health & Safety concerns. Some roof tiles came loose and fell onto surrounding pathways. to ensure that no person is injured we have arranged for urgent work to be done on the roof and windows. This is to ensure that Beggers Bush Barracks residents, premises staff and persons visiting are not put in any danger while using Beggers Bush Barracks. In line with this we are restricting public access to our building.

The Irish Labour History Society (ILHS) was established in 1973, with a founding objective, as outlined in our constitution, to; ‘promote the knowledge of Irish labour and of Irish people in labour history abroad and labour history in general; the appreciation of the importance of labour history in the educational curriculum; and the preservation of all records and reminiscences, oral and written, relating to the current and past experiences of the Irish working class and its organisations’.
Today, the Society publishes an annual journal Saothar, organises events throughout the year and also operates a standalone archive and museum dedicated to Irish labour history at a premises in Beggars Bush, Dublin. New members always welcome.
ILHS Membership Subscription for 2026 is now due and open to new members. Membership for 2026 includes the forthcoming edition of the society’s journal “Saothar 51”.
