Prior to the 1984 European Elections Fianna Fail had a number of Seminars for members on forthcoming European Elections. I’ve included the details of the seminar and some pages from the accompanying booklet. Included are messages from Charles Haughey, Gerry Collins and various details about Fianna Fail rules and the European Parliament.
A 1985 speech from then leader of Fianna Fail Charles J Haughey to the First Annual Dinner of the Friends of Fianna Fail in America. Its quite interesting in that it is very Rebulican in tone and illustrates efforts to get Irish America involved in the Northern Question as well as helping Ireland economically. Its 15 pages long so I uploaded in pdf, Click here to launch in pdf or click on the image below to do so.
I previously posted the Programme For The 1987 Fianna Fail ‘Dinnéar An Taoisigh’ With Prizes, Menu And Cigars , so thought I’d post the following years one too. Some nice prizes on offer, a decent menu however no cigars on the menu in 1988!
The Programme for the 1987 Cairde Fail ‘Dinnéar An Taoisigh’ held in The Burlington Hotel. Includes a list of raffle prizes and menu (which includes cigars after the tea and coffee) and a page for Autographs (alas this page is empty).
Many thanks to the sender.
From ‘This Week’ magazine April 1970 a profile of a pre Arms trial Charles Haughey. In an almost ‘Hello’ type interview and profile that feautures his family, his horses and much more. The question of the sale of house and lands in Raheny to builders is glossed over. Still worth a read.

From the 1989 General Election Campaign, Charles Haughey with the slogan “My Commitment- A Country We Can All Be Proud Of” asking voters to Vote Fianna Fail.
From the 1981 General Election the Fianna Fail anthem “Arise and follow Charlie” in praise of then leader Charlie Haughey.
