              1989 John Gormley Election Poster
              IE LMOD 511 · Item · Twentieth Century

              John Gormley election poster for the Green Party. Has the text 'Others promise the moon only we guarantee the earth!' in black and green. Shows a black and white picture of the view of earth from the moon and one of John Gormley.

              The Irish Green Party was founded in 1981 as the Ecology Party, changing its name to the Green Party in 1987. This poster is from the 1989 general election, the first time that the party used pictures of the candidates; they had been wary of the ‘cult of personality’ in politics. That’s why the picture of the earth is the same size as the picture of the candidate. The Greens did much better than anyone expected in the election, but no one in the party had much political acumen, so they only won one seat. John Gormley was eventually elected to Dublin City Council in 1991, served as Lord Mayor from 1994-95, and later led the party in a coalition with Fianna Fáil.

              1966 Piece of Nelson's Pillar
              1966 Piece of Nelson's Pillar
              IE LMOD 342 · Item · Twentieth Century

              A piece of rock from Nelson's Pillar from after it was blown up in 1966.

              This piece of granite is from Nelson’s Pillar on O’Connell Street, which was blown up by the IRA at 2am on 8 March 1966. Bombs destroyed the upper half of the pillar and threw the statue of Nelson into the street. Several days later, the Irish army demolished the remains of the pillar, causing more damage to O’Connell Street than the original blast. Nelson’s head was stored in a shed on Clanbrassil Street, before being stolen by students from the National College of Art and Design as a fund-raising prank. It was leased to a London antique store owner, and later appeared on the stage of the Olympia when the Dubliners performed. The head of Nelson’s Pillar is now on display in the excellent Dublin City Library and Archive on Pearse Street.

              1970s Portrait of Charles Haughey by Colman Doyle
              IE LMOD 294 · Item · Twentieth Century

              Print of a colour photographic portrait of Charles Haughey taken during the 1970s by Colman Doyle
              Charles Haughey’s career was chequered, and he lived rather well for a modest public servant. He was dismissed from the cabinet in 1970 along with Neil Blaney for allegedly conspiring to import arms into Northern Ireland for the IRA. Cleared of all criminal charges, Haughey fought to regain a seat in the cabinet, and later became party leader and Taoiseach.
