Nollaig 1957 edition of the Fianna Fail paper ‘Gleas’ July 31, 2013
The Nollaig 1957 edition of the internal Fianna Fail paper ‘Gleas’. In it we get an obituary of Sean Moylan, a brief report on the partys Ard Fheis. Issues from the Dublin North Central by-election . There’s other news inside and what I really love are the Organisation Notes on the final page. Here we get details of the grassroots of the party from all over the country. There are dances and ceilis galore, a ‘Film Show’ in Sligo and much more. Enjoy.
Apologies for the messiness of some of the scans… the paper was slightly bigger than the scanner.

‘Donnycarney’ Booklet with History of the area issued by the Donnycarney Branch of the Labour Party mid 70’s
‘Donnycarney’ A lovely booklet with a History of the area, some poetry and local issues issued by the Donnycarney Branch of the Labour Party. I suspect its from the mid 70’s as it mentions Labour being in government (although it could be anytime up until 1985 when Paddy Dunne lost his council seat).
Many thanks to the sender.
“The Donnycarney booklet is pretty interesting of itself, as I lived there for a few years, but the relevance is that it was put together by the local Labour Party. I can only guess when it might have been issued, sometime in the 70s or first half of the 80s, and it’s what I can best describe as fanzine quality – a few A4 sheets folded and held together with a staple.”
