‘Donnycarney’ Booklet with History of the area issued by the Donnycarney Branch of the Labour Party mid 70’s
‘Donnycarney’ A lovely booklet with a History of the area, some poetry and local issues issued by the Donnycarney Branch of the Labour Party. I suspect its from the mid 70’s as it mentions Labour being in government (although it could be anytime up until 1985 when Paddy Dunne lost his council seat).
Many thanks to the sender.
“The Donnycarney booklet is pretty interesting of itself, as I lived there for a few years, but the relevance is that it was put together by the local Labour Party. I can only guess when it might have been issued, sometime in the 70s or first half of the 80s, and it’s what I can best describe as fanzine quality – a few A4 sheets folded and held together with a staple.”
