              1981 Bullets from Ben Dunne’s Kidnappers
              IE LMOD 646 · Item · Twentieth Century

              Two bullets mounted on a sizable rock from Cullyhanna Graveyard in Armagh with 3 silver plaques bearing the words 'October 16th' 'Ben Dunne 1981' and 'October 22nd'. All of which is mounted on a wooden block.

              On the 16th of October, 1981, Ben Dunne Jnr. was kidnapped by the IRA on his way to open a new Dunnes Store in Portadown. Before his release on the 22nd of October, two of his abductors gave him these bullets and told him that they could easily have been used – one on him and the other on Fr. Dermot McCarthy. Fr McCarthy had tried to secure Dunne’s release, making a plea on television and at one point meeting with Dunne’s kidnappers. McCarthy was nearly shot in crossfire. After his release, Ben Dunne mounted the bullets on a piece of stone from the cemetary in Armagh where he had been held captive.

              1940 Brendan Bracken and Winston Churchill
              IE LMOD 705 · Item · Twentieth Century

              A black and white photograph of Winston Churchill being followed by Brendan Braken out of 10 Downing Street by Central Press. With Braken's signature also in the bottom of the frame. From Getty 'Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965) leaves Downing Street in London with Irish journalist and Conservative politician Brendan Braken (1901 – 1958).'

              Winston Churchill leaves 10 Downing Street with his ‘faithful chela,’ Brendan Bracken. One of the most mysterious Dubliners of the 20th Century, Bracken was an adventurer who tried to disguise his roots (Dublin/Tipperary), claiming instead to be Australian. A Tory MP at the age of 28, he published both the Economist and the Financial Times, and was loyal to Churchill when the latter had been cast into the political wilderness after the First World War. In 1940, when Ireland practiced scrupulous neutrality, Brendan Bracken played a key role in Churchill’s succession as Prime Minister, and went on to serve as Minister of Information for three years. Viscount Bracken died in 1958 at the age of 57. He is the subject of an excellent biography by fellow Dubliner Charles Lysaght.

              Poster for Patrick Munden running for election in Dublin South City in 1923 showing a photo of Munden in the centre.

              Born in 1883 in Allahabad, Patrick Munden was the son of an officer in the Indian Army. A successful architect and engineer, Munden left his mark on Dublin, working on Grangegorman Mental Hospital as well as many churches. A member of the Irish Volunteers, he was involved in the Howth gun-running episode of 1914 and was later held in Dublin Castle during Easter 1916. Munden would go on to represent Rathmines and Pembroke, but on this occasion he failed in a bid for the Dáil, finishing last of 20 candidates in Dublin South, with 0.57% of the vote.

              1963 'Dublin Greets Kennedy'
              1963 'Dublin Greets Kennedy'
              IE LMOD 447 · Item · Twentieth Century

              The Irish Times front page for Dublin, Thursday, June 27, 1963 when American president John F Kennedy visited Ireland. Big picture of Kennedy greeting the crowds with De Valera also in the car. Includes articles on the Kennedy trip, transcript of De Valera and Kennedy’s greetings and an article on Kennedy’s trip to Berlin.

              The visit of US President John F. Kennedy was seismic. Kennedy was mobbed by autograph-hunters at a garden party held in his honour at the home of the President. Six months later he was killed in Dallas. His address to both houses of the Oireachtas during his trip was a bravura performance; a sort of homecoming, as the Irish Times noted.
