I AM researching a thesis on Irish society and culture from 1923 to 1965. I would be grateful if former members of sodalities, confraternities, trade unions and groups such as CYMS or the Catholic Women’s Federation would be kind enough to talk to me. I can be reached at 01 475 9785/087 752 5679, or

I AM writing a thesis on the history of Irish opposition to Communism from 1922 to 1969 and would be grateful if any members of a sodality, confraternity, trade union, or groups like the CYMS or Catholic Women’s Federation would be kind enough to share their memories about the crusade against Communism in Ireland with me. Of course, I would be both eager and thankful if any readers could help me.
