Description:

Newsclipping from the 'Irish Independent', 22 November 1948, containing an article entitled 'Republic exists says speaker'. The article refers to Mrs M Buckley's presidential address to the annual Ard Fheis of Sinn Fein. 'There has been a lot of talk recently about declaring the Republic, but were their memories so short that they had forgotten that the Republic was proclaimed in blood in 1916'. She also comments on the Sinn Fein funds case. 'Mrs Buckley said that they had decided to contest the case not so much to gain possession of the Funds as to answer the challenge to their status as the lineal descendant of the Sinn Fein organisation founded in 1905'.
