Item 1 - Hurrah! Hurrah! For Plunkett

1 p.; Typescript

A poem (to the air of ‘The Boys of Wexford’) advocating support for George Noble Plunkett in the forthcoming by-election. It reads: ‘Roscommon’s chance has come at last, to strike a manly blow, For Eire’s right in freedom’s fight, and thraldom overthrow’. In 1917, in Sinn Féin’s first parliamentary victory, Plunkett won the seat of Roscommon North in a by-election.
