  Interesting life (1883 - 1950) - www.theirishstory.com/2012/02/03/the-curious-career-of-he... "There can be few Irish people who lived quite such an interesting life during these years. From Unionism to the leadership of Sinn Féin and back to Unionism again. From the far-right of the British aristocracy to flirting with European fascism. Simultaneously writing religious tracts and pornographic literature under different pen names (according to his son) all the while proclaiming himself to be a devout Roman Catholic, while keeping several mistresses on the go. Pim can be accused of many things but he was certainly never dull."
