Copy speech made by Terence MacSwiney on the occasion of his election as Lord Mayor of Cork after the assassination of Tomás Mac Curtain. The final page is signed ‘Toirdhealbhach Mac Suibhne’. MacSwiney noted that the ‘circumstances of the vacancy in the office of Lord Mayor inevitably governed the filling of it; and I come here more as a soldier stepping into the breach than an administrator to fill the post in the municipality’. In Irish and English. With Lord Mayor’s Prayer. A message to Republican prisoners on hunger-strike. The text begins: ‘To my Comrades in Cork. On your 57th day I greet you! …’.
