Author and Journalist Michael MacDonagh now has his site on Wikipedia. Thank you, Coningsby.
MacDonagh prefaces his The Home Rule Movement, 1920, with a salute to John O’Connor Power:
My friend, John O’Connor Power, once famous as The Member for Mayo, gave me shortly before his death in February, 1919, the papers he had collected in the course of his unique political career – commencing as an Irish Fenian and ending as a British Liberal. ‘Make what use you like of them,’ he says in his letter to me, ‘subject to one condition – they must not be made a basis of an attack on any Irishman.’
In the National Library of Ireland, there is a letter, dated 17 August, 1920, from Richard E Morrin of Hollymount, County Mayo, congratulating MacDonagh on The Home Rule Movement. Morrin suggests that he write a biography of John O’Connor Power.
[It was Labour] which supplied the driving force of the country, socially and politically, which had given the backbone, the muscle and the grit to every Nationalist movement, revolutionary and constitutional.
