On this day, 17 April 1920, dockers in Dublin refused to load foodstuffs destined for England. The action helped relieve severe food shortages in Dublin, which had been dire since 1917 with many staple goods like butter, eggs and sugar almost unavailable while huge quantities of food were shipped to Britain.
