This typed item begins by giving notice that a public meeting is to take place in Moran’s Hotel, Gardiner Street, on 11 November 1959, titled ‘Ban the Bomb’. It then comments on previous meetings organised by the Irish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. At a meeting in the Hibernian Hotel Una Byrne commented that since there were so many Friends of Russia present she hoped they would use their influence with the Soviets to establish lasting peace.
