A series of republican cartoons by Constance Markievicz published during the Civil War attacking various prominent Free State figures including Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins. Two of the cartoons are titled ‘Midnight Assassins’ and refer to supposed threats to the lives of Ėamon de Valera and Erskine Childers. Another affirms that Griffith and Collins are ‘marching heads up into the Empire over the bodies of their murdered Comrades’ whilst another suggests a comparison between James Craig and Michael Collins in terms of their treatment of Republicans. The cartoons may have been published in the Anti-Treaty publication 'The Fenian' (See IE CA IR-1-8-3-5).

A view of the exterior of Ards House near Creeslough in County Donegal. Ards House (later Ard Mhuire Capuchin Friary) was formerly the residence of the Stewart-Bam family. The house and demesne were taken over by the Irish Land Commission in 1927. It was acquired by the Capuchin Order in March 1930. The Order changed the name of the old Stewart-Bam house to Ard Mhuire which became a theological seminary. The first community consisted of Fr. Colman Griffin OFM Cap. (Guardian), Fr. Patrick Kelleher OFM Cap., Fr. Andrew Carew OFM Cap. and Br. Fidelis Rice OFM Cap. It took some time to convert Ards House into a Capuchin friary. A power plant was built for electric light and central heating was installed. A large fire in December 1944 caused considerable damage to the old house and the decision was made in the mid-1950s to demolish the residence and build a new friary and church. At this point, the mansion was in a terrible state of repair – the lead roof was developing cracks and was leaking and the oldest part of the building, the elaborate façade, was crumbling. The new Capuchin Friary at Ard Mhuire was formally opened on 13 November 1966. The friary overlooks the shores of Sheephaven Bay and now offers retreats, conferences, seminars, and periods of rest and relaxation, reflection, prayer and holidays.
