Padraic Breslin Early life:

Padraic was born in London and brought up on the North Strand in Dublin. By the time he was 15, he was writing articles for Workers's Republic (The Irish Times, 2015). He was an idealistic 21 year old pro communist when he was sent from Dublin by labour leader Jim Larkin with several others to study at Moscow's International Lenin school in 1928. But what he didn't realise at the time is that he would neevr return (The Irish Echo, 2000)
