The plaque on Fair Green House at High Street, Keady states: JOHN REDMOND 1918 John Redmond Irish Parliamentary 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 story corner window of Fair Green House as he addressed a crowd of more than two thousand people assembled in Cow Fir and Lir Street below. The speech incited the crowd so much there was a great disturbance and many were injured in the violence which followed.
