A view of West Gate Tower in Wexford in about 1950. The tower in the photograph was originally called Selskar Gate and served as a private entrance to Selskar Abbey rather than as a public town gate. The image shows the structure in a rather dilapidated state (complete with pigeon coops fixed to the walls). In the 1990s, Selskar Gate underwent a complete restoration and was renamed West Gate Tower serving as an important reminder of Wexford’s built heritage.

Copies of the ‘Weekly Review of the German News Agency’ and a solitary copy of ‘Radio News from Italy’. Essentially Axis propaganda, these English-language news reviews were designed for overseas circulation in neutral or non-aligned countries (like Ireland). They were usually disseminated by German and Italian diplomatic missions abroad. The news sheets featured short articles on Axis victories and reports on the brutality of the Allied bombing campaign. The reviews aimed to justify the war and to cultivate support for the Axis regimes, particularly by focusing on the perceived necessity of defeating Soviet communism.
The file comprises the following editions this weekly journal published by the Publicity Department of Dáil Eireann: 5 June 1922 (Vol. 1, no. 3) – 17 July 1922 (Vol. 1, no. 9).

July 1922]. Most of the journal’s articles deal with cataloguing and detailing anti-Catholic riots in Belfast and in the rest of Northern Ireland.
