Fr. Richard Henebry (front row, seated, second from left) at an Irish language summer school organised by Conrad na Gaelige. The summer school was possibly held in the Waterford Gaeltacht. Fr. Albert Bibby OSFC is seated in the front row (first on the right).
The fliers claim the support of Fr. Laurence Dowling OFM Cap. and Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap., Capuchin Franciscan Friary, Church Street, calling them ‘distinguished representatives of the Order which in dark and evil days held aloft the lamp of learning in Ireland’. Father Lawrence wrote ‘I am glad Mr. John Farren is seeking election as a member of the Dublin Corporation. …’. The fliers were printed by Mitchell & Co., 29 Capel Street, Dublin, and published by the candidate.
