From the 1951 General Election “For your family’s sake…. Vote Fine Gael”. The achievements of the Inter Party Government in relation to the family are listed. The focus on the family was I’m sure in part a reaction to the furore caused by the Mother and Child Scheme.
At the bottom is the message “Get full value for your vote by continuing your preferences for all the Inter-Party Candidates”
You would have got great value for your vote as the other Inter-Party candidates would have included those from the Labour Party, Clann na Poblachta, Clann na Talmhan , the National Labour Party and some Independents.
From 1951 “For your family’s sake…. Vote Fine Gael” August 20, 2011
