Sinn Fein Christmas cards

""These are Christmas cards sent to me by my brother, Emmet, in Dublin when I was living in Sydney, probably in 1984. When I received them, I thought, "Oh my god," because they were highly unusual, to say the least. On the back of one of them, he wrote, "Hang this on the wall of your front hall so that everybody can see it and ask about it." Emmet was ill throughout his life and read a lot while in hospital, including about Sinn Féin. He became a member of Sinn Féin and was an activist in Ballyfermot. He has since died and these Christmas Cards are a memory of him in many ways.""
