Angelus Healy OSFC refers to the origins of the temperance crusade and to the request from the Catholic bishops to the Irish Capuchins to formally begin their temperance missions in October 1905.

• Notes re the provenance of temperance medals held in the Irish Capuchin Archives. The text refers to a large gold medal (CA FM RES/9/3/6) with the following engraving on the rim: ‘P.P.

Many contemporary medallists were involved in their production … particularly Isaac Parkes of Dublin …’. With letters to the editor responding to Michael Kenny’s article. 5 Apr. 1981-19 Apr. 1981.
