TERENCE MACSWINEY [1879-1920]
A paid cheque signed in Irish, Toirdhealhach Mac Suibhne, for púnt amháin (one pound), payable to Sisters of Charity - St. Vincents Convent, 25.5.1920, drawn on Banc na Mumhan & Laighean Tta (Munster & Leinster Bank), stamped PAID, countersigned rear by recipient. Drawn during MacSwineys term as Lord Mayor of Cork, about three months before his imprisonment for possessing a British code cipher, and almost exactly five months before his death on the 74th day of his hunger strike. His enormous funeral in Cork is regarded as a turning point in public support for the independence movement and the Irish Volunteers.
