About
Áras Uí Chonghaile is a modern, inspirational, visitor centre that will attract visitors and locals alike epitomising the character and fabric of the Falls Road. A place of welcome for people with all politics and of none.
James Connolly was a man of formidable ideas and remarkable vision. Over 100 years after James Connolly was executed, his values, his ideas and the example he gave us in life, are as inspiring and relevant as ever. Our mission in this Centre is to ensure that a new generation of Irish citizens and those who visit us from across the world are introduced to Connolly and his ideas.
Connolly was born of humble origins and knew poverty at first hand all of his life. Despite having left school at a very early age, he was driven to learn and to understand the world around him. His appetite for knowledge was ferocious. Despite his origins, he went on to write some of the most incisive and original works of political philosophy and historical analysis ever written on these Islands and indeed in the world.
