A wonderful leaflet from Fianna Fail Dublin Bay South candidate Jim O’Callaghan, which contains a map with details of 32 Historical sites connected to The Rising in the constituency.
As the map is a fantastic bit of history I’ve also uploaded the leaflet in pdf format
His website
Many thanks to the sender.

An impressive Easter Rising Centenary leaflet from Seán Haughey who is running for Fianna Fail in Dublin Bay North.
The leaflet contains a fascinating account of the activities of Seán Lemass during Easter week 1916. Seán Lemass being the grandfather of Seán Haughey. Aptly enough the leaflet also contains a section “Was your family involved in the events of 1916”.

From The April 1936 edition of “The Labour Monthly” (a magazine associated with The Communist Party of Great Britain) an article reflecting on the 20th Anniversary of the Easter Rising. The article “Easter Week 1916” was written by Pat Devine (Info on him here). As it is a good few pages long I’ve scanned and uploaded it in pdf. Click Here for “Easter Week 1916” or on the image to launch it in pdf.
‘The Easter Rising, 1916 -An Introduction’…a beautifully illustrated leaflet from éirígí. The leaflet contains some great illustrations, history of the rising, before the rising and other material. Another leaflet in the same style is their “A brief account of the battle of Mount Street Bridge Easter 1916″
Many thanks to the sender.
A lovely bit of history that a kind reader sent on (many thanks). From April 1966 a set of Easter Rising 1916 Commemorative Stamps to mark the 50th anniversary of the rising.
There are stamps for P.H. Pearse, James Connolly, Thomas Clarke, Eamonn Ceannt, Sean Mac Diarmada, Joseph Plunkett and Thomas Mac Donagh with profiles of each in Irish and English. There are also details of the stamps themselves.

From 1966 a Laois Republican Commemoration Committee Easter Draw card (I assume its a misspelling of commemoration).
The sender notes
Its a fully filled out Republican Easter draw card from 1966 – not sure if someone ever dropped it in for the draw or just made off with money – it was probably someone from Newbridge (or Droichead Nua) as thats where all the addresses are from.
Note that some of the names and addresses are Army men from The Curragh Camp and of course some are care of ‘The Liffey Bar’ in Newbridge.
