Madam, - I am researching a book on the life of Seán Mac Diarmada, executed by the British authorities for his part in the 1916 Rising. Between 1906 and his death Mac Diarmada was active throughout the country organising groups such as the Dungannon Clubs, Sinn Féin and the Irish Republican Brotherhood.
I would be interested in hearing from any of your readers who may have photographs, letters or documents of any sort relating to Mac Diarmada. I can be contacted by post, c/o Drumlin Publications, Nure, Manorhamilton, Co Leitrim, or at ardmacha112@btopenworld.com.
Any assistance will of course be acknowledged in the forthcoming book. - Yours, etc.,
GERARD Mac ATASNEY, Belfast 15.
