Description

Letter from Cataeir [Cahir Healy], 44 Belmore Street, Enniskillen, to Éamon Donnelly on the topic of Nationalist unity and electoral candidacy. Dated 20 December 1937. "I think the only sensible thing to do in the six counties, is to link up with F.F. [Fianna Fáil] without becoming part of that organisation. […] I still believe we can get substantial Unity upon practical Abstention, but the seats must be filled by whoever is elected. The alternative is to allow the Labour Group, who refused by a majority to endorse anti-Partition policy, to come in. I hope you will take either Mourne (where Pat O’Neill is vacating) or South Down, De V’s [De Valera's] seat. You could thus become the connecting link between F.F. and the North, and help us to make a National Policy […]." Also mentions a letter by Father Maguire, recently published in the "Irish Press".
