1923
North Dublin Union
Dear Peg,
You'll have noticed the change of address above. So much has happened since I last wrote, I hardly know where to start.
I have to say that we felt not altogether unfortunate to be in Kilmainham Jail for Easter weekend. The seventh anniversary of the 1916 Rising felt like a good day to take our Oath of Allegiance again to the Republic and to be one of three hundred Republican girls housed there, where those brave heroes were executed.
Now, a few weeks later, what a contrast!
It began when we were told that we were to be moved from Kilmainham to North Dublin Union, a former workhouse. We were none too keen on this idea, as Kilmainham, with its noble association, suited us far better. Also, Mrs O'Callaghan and Miss MacSwiney were still on their hunger
