| Notes | The speaker of the poem comments on the Dunnes workers' anti-Apartheid strike of the 1980s, which protested at the existence of items from apartheid South Africa in Dunnes Stores. The poem mentions various involved characters, such as Ben Dunne, the female strikers themselves, and Taoiseach Garrett Fitzgerald, in the context of the failure of the Irish Government to take decisive action against apartheid. |
