Political cartoons from Oireachtas Library on display in Leinster House

8 Mar 2019, 09.00

The Oireachtas Library & Research Service is looking at the legacy of the Irish Parliamentary Party by displaying political cartoons from two issues of the periodical Irish Fun: A Tonic in Type.

Dating from October 1917 and May 1918, these cartoons mock the Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP), which had been in marked political decline since 1916 and was the object of much satire for Sinn Féin periodicals like Irish Fun.

To find out more, visit the digital exhibition of the documents in the display case.
