    “Senators will agree that we should place no emblem before us in this Assembly that is not of Ireland, in spirit and in workmanship, carrying in it the faith both of the Old Irish world and of the New. I have insisted, therefore, that the form of the casket should go back in direct descent to the ‘shrines’ designed by the Irish over a thousand years ago”

    ...
    One of her most significant pieces was commissioned by Alice Stopford Green, it was to create a metal casket for a scroll with the signatures of the Free State senators. The casket, known as the Senate Casket, has gold, silver, and enamel on a copper foundation. The shape is based on that of the Gallarus Oratory.[5] Upon its completion in 1924, it received universal praise, being exhibited at the NMI and the Manchester Art Federation. When the Senate was dissolved in 1936, it was presented to the Royal Irish Academy.[4] Newland Smith reviewed the casket, described Cranwill was a "designer and craftswoman who understands the national Irish style and can interpret it, create anew within it, and add to the old and delightful forms a personality and expression quite new" ...

    Mentioned in Parliament: Hansard

    man named Coetzee was, on the 24th of June last, tried at Dordrecht by a Military Court, composed of a Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Irish Regiment and a Colonial Major and Lieutenant, on a charge of murder and high treason; that the evidence disclosed that a Boer picket had been surprised by Colonel Scobell's column on the 6th of June, and that two men, of whom the prisoner was one, were found with rifles and ammunition in a neighbouring donga, from which the witness thought shots were being fired; and that on this evidence against Coetzee, and the evidence of another witness, he was certain the prisoners were the sons of a British subject, Coetzee was convicted and executed; and whether, in view of the feeling among our Dutch fellow-subjects caused by military executions of this kind, he will direct that captured Boer soldiers who are alleged to be British subjects shall be reserved for trial by the ordinary courts.

    HC Deb 16 August 1901 vol 99 c1142 1142

    §MR. LEAMY (Kildare, N.) I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he has yet received any official information to the effect that several of the leading inhabitants of Cradock have been deported for refusing to obey the order to attend the execution of Johannes Petrus Coetzee; and, if so, will he state by whose order was the deportation carried out.
    LORD STANLEY No information has as yet reached the War Office”
