A file containing loose clippings and Irish language notes relating to An tAthair Peadar Ó Laoghaire. The notes appear to be extracts on the life of St. Patrick taken from the clippings. Some of the notes are fragmentary and incomplete but refer to traditions associated with the saint. One extract reads ‘It is stupid to talk of St. Patrick overturning the altars of paganism in Ireland. The first “pagan temple” which he turned into a Christian church was a barn!’. The contents of the file were extracted from the bound volumes at CA CP/3/4/2/1.

The original caption reads ‘A powerful cartoon, specially drawn for the ‘Weekly Dispatch’, by the famous Dutch artist Raemaekers.
