  Is May correct? She was released from Holloway prison on Friday 15th March and arrived in Dublin the following day and made a speech from the windows of Liberty Hall (according to press reports).

  Merry Christmas NLI Marys and everyone - thanks for all the flickroonie fun this year! No idea who these people are, but the Countess Markievicz seems to have been one huge character - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constance_Markievicz

  John Spooner I suspect that the question mark behind May in the title was to seek clarification on that point John. If it was her release from prison in March then what, if anything, was happening in May or was this March???
