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.
