Rare MacSwiney letter up for grabs
In the one-page letter, MacSwiney invites his friend ‘Padraig’ to his house so his children can converse through Irish with his daughter Máire.
His sister, also Máire, who took over his Dáil seat after MacSwiney’s death after a 73-day hunger strike in Brixton Prison in Oct 1920, would also be present for the gathering MacSwiney wrote in the letter.
