Ciarán Ó Duibhir

€10.00 EUR

A fascinating account of the North Leitrim By-Election which brought the new party founded by Arthur Griffith into electoral conflict with Redmond's Irish Parliamentary Party. Ten years later Sinn Féin swept the boards and gave expression to the ideals of the men and women of 1916.

The national and local political situations are skilfully interwoven to produce a significant account of politics in Ireland in the early twentieth century.
