Scope and content
An account by Fr. Dominic O’Connor OFM Cap. of the imprisonment and death of Terence MacSwiney, Lord Mayor of Cork. Fr. Dominic wrote: ‘His sufferings, no pen could write. Try and conceive the pain you suffer in your shoulders and back and in your knees, the stiff, numbing pain in the calves of your legs, the agony in your heels, instep and ankles, even if you remain for six hours outstretched on your back. What a relief to bend your knees and draw them up toward your body. But even that little relief our heroic sufferer could not have, for the flesh had wasted from his knee’.
