1987 Letter from The National Socialist Irish Workers Party August 27, 2015
First off apologies if anyone is offended but I thought it might be of interest.
A small extract from the excellent book “Undertones: Anti-fascism and the far-right in Ireland 1945-2012.” about the NSIWP which emerged in 1968.
The National Socialist Irish Workers Party (NSIWP) was founded in Dublin by 26 year old Terence Allan-Byrne, a self-employed decorator who lived with his mother at 6 St. Brendan’s Cottages, Ringsend. The founding of the organisation coincided with a ‘huge black swastika’ and the letters NSIWP daubed on the monument to Dr. William Ashford at Irishtown Square, Dublin.This organisation, though never involving more than two dozen or so members, would be active for the next twenty years. It also played a vital role in the production of neo-Nazi paraphernalia for the European movement.

“The Rights of Women in Modern Society” from ‘Iris Fianna Fail’ Summer 1975 August 16, 2015
From the Summer 1975 edition of the Fianna Fail Newsletter “Iris Fianna Fail” a piece “The Rights of Women in Modern Society” by Gene Fitzgerald. (who was I think the partys then spokesperson on Womens Affairs). It’s quite forward thinking for the time.
From “Iris Fianna Fail ” Summer 1975 edition, Tomás Ó Maoláin remembers the first Fianna Fail Ard Fheis August 14, 2015
From The “Iris Fianna Fail ” Summer 1975 edition, the then Vice President of Fianna Fail Tomás Ó Maoláin gives his recollections of the first Fianna Fail Ard Fheis. It was held in the Rotunda Building on November the 24th 1926. It’s a wonderful account of the event. Interesting too to see how many people with links to the Easter Rising of ten years earlier were on the Partys National Executive.
