Pause for a while my friends and listen to what Im going to tell to
you about the events in Dublin City and the girls of the IDATU Dunnes
stores branch in Henry street was where the trouble first began that
led to the strike, the famous strike, of ten young women and one young
man
At the union conference that year they said we will not compromise
with Apartheid and they voted to boycott all South African
merchandise they said well stick by resolution ten young women and
one young man.
Mary Manning, from Kilmainham, a twenty one year old cashier was put
to the test the very next morning and she spoke up loud and clear no
Im afraid, I cannot serve you, them grapefruits South African and
some of us here are opposed to apartheid ten young women and one
young man
There was a hell of a hullaballoo, with moans and shouts and angry
cries the bosses foaming at the mouth and the suits running round like
blue-arsed flies youll sell that fruit or be suspended, well
tolerate no union ban little did they understand the will of ten
young women and one young man
Mary Manning got the push, that girl of independent mind and ten of
her workmates went with her and joined her on the picket line for days
and weeks and months they stood there, held their nerve and kept the
ban showing the will and determination of ten young women and one
young man
So heres to the girls of Dublin City who stretched their hands across
the sea and gave the world a perfect lesson in worker solidarity
heres to the folk that heed the boycott, wont buy Cape and spurn
outspan
Ten young women and one young man!
