Pièce 3 - Flier and Subscription List for Fr. Michael O’Hickey Testimonial

A flier for the Fr. Michael O’Hickey Testimonial following his dismissal as Professor of Irish in St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth, County Kildare. The testimonial reads ‘Dr. O’Hickey has for many years taken a leading part in the promotion of the national Language Movement, which, in the belief of men of a parties, has inspired Ireland with a new life and a new power. It is now some years since the plain-spoken and telling words of his published addresses on Irish Education laid the foundation of a great reform in the then almost hopelessly Anglicised school systems of Ireland’. The testimonial includes a lengthy list of subscribers who have contributed to the fund.
