In a grand display of support for Mr J. E. Redmond, Member of Parliament, one of the most significant and representative gatherings in the Southern province recently unfolded in Limerick. The Markets Field hosted the event, where thousands assembled to express confidence in Mr Redmond, the leader of the Irish Party, and his colleagues. The gathering, marked by a procession through the city and numerous addresses from public bodies, showcased the strong commitment to advancing the National movement.

Special trains were organized to facilitate attendees from Dublin, Cork, Tipperary, Clare, and Limerick, underlining the widespread participation. The Mayor of Limerick presided over the public meeting, where notable figures like Mr John Dillon, Mr Joseph Devlin, Mr W. E. Redmond, Alderman Joyce, Mr P. J. O’Shaughnessy, Mr T. Lundon, and Mr M. J. Flavin delivered speeches. The evening concluded with a banquet where Mr Redmond and his colleagues were honoured.

The event not only highlighted the unity of the Irish Party but also demonstrated the fervent support it enjoys across different regions.
