I came across a singer called frank Harte on radio Na Life there the other day. Anyone hear of him?
According to wiki he was a republican and also quotes him saying :
"those in power write the history, while those who suffer write the songs, and, given our history, we have an awful lot of songs." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Harte
Here's some songs from youtube:

Napoleon Bonaparte

And also an RTE series:

One of those is dedicated to "Songs of work and social protest - The Labouring Voice"
