A ticket for the Unionist Demonstration, New Leinster Hall, Dublin, Tuesday, 29 November, 1887, in a folding frame with a forged version of the ticket.
The meeting was addressed by the Marquess of Hartington, later 8th Duke of Devonshire' whose younger brother Lord Frederick Cavendish had been murdered in the Phoenix Park in 1886.
The Irish Times Wednesday, November 30, 1887 reports that 'At the outset of the proceedings it became apparent that a small minority was present who had conceived the purpose of breaking up the proceedings. Forged tickets were printed and were freely offered for sale at the last moment. But the deception was clumsy. A few gained admission to the Hall and during the evening strove to create a disturbance.'

Zonder titelThis piece of granite is alleged to be 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, 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.

Zonder titelPaper published by anti-Treaty side during the Civil War. Includes headings 'Lawful and Unlawful', 'Castle Tactics', 'In The Field', 'In The Prisons', 'Why Gavan Duffy Retired'. Also includes information on attacks and raids as well as lists of the wounded and killed.
In this edition of the Anti-Treaty forces newsletter the moral authority of the Free State Government is called into question. The infamous British threat (during the Treaty negotiations) of “immediate and terrible war” is offered as the only reason for their coming to power. There is also a list of men, formerly seen as heroes during the War of Independence, who have been thrown into Free State jails and subjected to “scandalous treatment” at the hands of their former comrades.
