A by-Election is being held today (14th September 2013) for the position of Ogra Fianna Fail policy and campaigns officer. The position also makes the office holder a member of the Fianna Fail National Executive. This is a leaflet from one of the candidates Dr John Regan. He is a former special adviser to minister Pat Carey.
The candidates manifesto is quite interesting and well thought out.
Many thanks to the sender.

From the 1948 General Election a leaflet for Fianna Fail candidates Andy Fogarty, Thomas Joseph McDonagh and Mary Bridget Ryan who were running in Tipperary North. Andy Fogarty who had been a TD since June 1927, lost his seat. He was from Cashel in the new South Tipperary constituency, his nephew John Fanning would later take a seat. Mary Ryan held on to her seat. She was known as Ryan Lacken, her husband Martin had been a TD. The other candidate TJ McDonagh was a nephew of Thomas MacDonagh and was a Dublin solicitor.

A striking poster from I would imagine the lead up to the June 1927 General Election regarding executions in the Civil War. The ‘Seventy Seven Arguments Against The Treaty’ refers to the 77 executions during the Civil War (this figure is disputed and may have been 81).
We also have quotes from Patrick Hogan and Kevin O’Higgins
“You did not think we’d Execute Irishmen, We did and we’ll bloody well execute again!”
“I stand by the seventy-seven executions and seven hundred and seventy seven more if necessary”
Some information on Executions during the Civil War
I took a picture of this poster at a recent visit to Kilmainham Gaol which is well worth a visit.
A wonderful leaflet produced by Fianna Fail Kerry based Senator Mark Daly giving a History of The Irish Flag as well as a very interesting profile of Thomas Frances Meagher.
Many Thanks to the sender.
From the 1943 General Election a pamphlet from Fianna Fail “Ireland 1932 to 1942 – A Story of Great Achievements”. The pamphlet, which is 30 pages long, shows the achievements of Fianna Fail since their entry to government in 1932, it emphasizes the gains made towards self sufficiency. There are many info-graphics illustrating the success of the economic war.
From a historical (and of course political) point of view it’s a very interesting read.

The Nollaig 1957 edition of the internal Fianna Fail paper ‘Gleas’. In it we get an obituary of Sean Moylan, a brief report on the partys Ard Fheis. Issues from the Dublin North Central by-election . There’s other news inside and what I really love are the Organisation Notes on the final page. Here we get details of the grassroots of the party from all over the country. There are dances and ceilis galore, a ‘Film Show’ in Sligo and much more. Enjoy.
Apologies for the messiness of some of the scans… the paper was slightly bigger than the scanner.

“Fianna Fail 1926 – 1947” A wonderful booklet from 1947 commemorating 21 years of Fianna Fail.

Its a lovely bit of history.
