The following text is included in the description, "John Redmond Irish Parliamentary Party Leader after Parnell visited Keady on his country wide tour during the vital 1918 General Election. Large crowds had gathered as it was the main monthly fair day. Redmond was held by the belt of his trousers from the second storey corner window of Fair Green House as he addressed a crowd of more than two thousand people assembled in Cow Fair and Lir Street below. The speech incited the crowds so much there was great disturbance and many were injured in the violence which followed." Pictured here Image]
