    Via The Irish Labour Party
    There is a comment from benstaunton 12 years ago - "This is my great grand father. He was from Kilkenny and came from a family who had several members involved in founding the socialist movement in Ireland. He was a friend and close associate of James Connolly."

    Slum landlords, milk adulterators and food fakers could sleep easy. Irish Independent - Friday 21 February 1913:
    NORTH CITY WARD ELECTION.
    The election for Councillor, In the room of the late Mr. R. J. Union, to represest North City Ward in the Dublin Corporation took place yesterday, the result being declared last night as follows:
    James Gately - 475
    Joe O'Donerty (U.I.L.) - 434
    Thos. J. Lyng (I.L.P.) - 54
    Patrick M'Grene - 47

    There were 11 spoiled votes. Mr. C. S. Campbell acted as Deputy Returning Officer and Mr. Gately, in moving a vote of thanks to him, said a Socialist had been started to split the vote.
    So Mr Lyng was unsuccessful, unless his sole object in standing was to split the vote as Mr Gately suggested.

    And this fuller story, a few days later, including -
    " ... Larkin, disguised as an old man, with a false beard and decrepit gait, watched the detectives searching the hotel where he was staying. He subsequently addressed a meeting from the hotel balcony, and was recognised by the crowd. He submitted quietly to the police."

    Perhaps the article has confused two separate occasions. Larkin's Wikipedia article says ...
    " ... Larkin and others were arrested for sedition on 28 August, and he was released on bail later that day. Connolly told the authorities "I do not recognise the English government in Ireland at all. I do not even recognise the King except when I am compelled to do so."[22] On 30 August, a warrant for Larkin's arrest was put out, claiming he had again been seditious and had incited people to riot and to pillage shops. When a meeting called by Larkin for Sunday 31 August 1913 was proscribed, Constance Markievicz and her husband Casimir disguised Larkin in Casimir's frock coat and trousers and stage makeup and beard, and Nellie Gifford, who was unknown to the police, led him into William Martin Murphy's Imperial Hotel, pretending to be her stooped, deaf old clergyman uncle (to disguise his instantly recognisable Liverpool accent). Larkin tore off his beard inside the hotel and raced to a balcony, where he shouted his speech to the crowd below. The police – some 300 Royal Irish Constabulary reinforcing Dublin Metropolitan Police – savagely baton-charged the crowd, injuring between 400 and 600 people. MP Handel Booth, who was present, said that the police "behaved like men possessed. They drove the crowd into the side streets to meet other batches of the government's minions, wildly striking with their truncheons at everyone within reach ... The few roughs got away first, most respectable people left their hats and crawled away with bleeding heads. Kicking victims when prostrate was a settled part of the police programme." Larkin went into hiding, charged with incitement to breach the peace. Larkin was later re-arrested, charged with sedition and was handed a 7-month imprisonment. ...
