👍👍 As well as the amazing museum and library the Café Uí Chonghaile has some of the finest food and coffee on the road. Always welcoming and their new festive sandwich is outstanding. People often mention history, James, staff, Connolly,

    Excellent, bilingual exhibitions with self-guided audio tour, detailing James Connolly's life from its beginnings in Scotland to his execution in Dublin in 1916. Nice cafe and good library collection too. Free entry to Belfast residents and a discount for trade union members. Staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Could easily spend all day in here (i often have!).

    This was a great stop for some Belfast and Irish history of James Connolly. The staff where extremely kind and knowledgeable and the history of the region is even more amazing. Find yourself to this location and easy "glider" ride from the City Center.

    Great experience, truly acknowledges and dispays the brilliance of the man himself. Cafe was fantastic also. And regular meetings held for all types of community work. Well done to all involved with the centre👏

    Fascinating museum and library exploring the life of James Connolly. Opened my eyes to his important role in trade unions organisation not only in Ireland but in the United States. People at the centre very welcoming and helpful, well worth a visit for anybody interested in exploring the history of ireland, irish socialism and trade unions movement at the start of the 20th century. Bravo to the centre's founders and staff.
