The 1911 protest mentioned in the dib was for breaking windows of the War Office in London. Votes for Women - Friday 01 December 1911:
Mrs. Margaret Connery had broken two windows on the ground floor of She War Office. The prisoner said she came across from Ireland to protest in the strongest possible way against the Government's present attitude on the question of Woman Suffrage, and to show that Irish women were prepared to resist any form of Government, Home Rule or otherwise, which did not recognise Irish women. She was sentenced to 10s. and 10s. damages, or seven days in second division.
