From 1982…”The Role of Officers in Sinn Féin” published by The Sinn Féin Education Department as part of the ‘Republican lecture series’. It’s quite interesting as the roles are explained but also within the context of “The Troubles”. I’ve scanned it and uploaded it in pdf.
Many thanks to the sender

Just posting this message from Garret Fitzgerald, to illustrate the state of the Country in the Feb 1982 election.
Found a few more 1982 snow pics.Not as spectacular as the first one I posted.
In the first picture the snow covers the road and is at wall height.
The second one is I gather taken later during the thaw and you can see the snow cleared to make the door accessible. Its of St Marks school in Tallaght.
The third one shows how cars were snowed in too.
Found this at home and scanned it. Its nothing to do with Politics ….
Shows the extent of the Snow back in 1982 though….
Taken up around Knocklyon , I think.
I’ve posted a few other photos from 1982 here too
