The January 1923 Dublin general strike was a general strike organized by various labor factions in the city of Dublin during the fall of 1922 and executed starting on January 1, 1923. Intended as a temporary and peaceful strike to force employers to the table in an effort to reconcile differences on wages, working conditions and the ban on unions within the city limits of Dublin, after four days Dublin's police violently broke the strike, instigating two separate riots and forcing even more protesters into the streets. On January 7, 1923, a third riot raged and two army regiments were called into Dublin to make peace, resulting in hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries.
