First off many many to the sender who notes…
“I’m not sure when it dates from, but Moira is now in her 90’s and lived on Caledon Road, East Wall, the mother of Mick Ryan and also of Nicky Ryan – manager of Enya.
Both Moira & Mick were on the Ard Chomhlaire together in the early 70’s the only time I think that a mother and son were on together.”
I gather the leaflet is from the 1967 Local Elections. In the early 1950 she was involved with Clann na Poblachta.

The heartwarming appeal from Ivor at the end of the leaflet
We must remain vigilant as we move forward learning from past mistakes and not settling for less than our full potential. We must look beyond our current difficulties and as resilient people we can and we will get through this difficulty.
I am asking people to be positive, to have hope and confidence.
