Photocopy of an article by Irish Press journalist Liam Robinson briefly describing Galway hookers (profiling the Mary Anne and the St. Patrick, both built by the Casey family) and the recent wave of restored hookers (including the St. Patrick, restored by Paddy Barry of Monkstown, Dublin) now sailing again at the time of the article.

Information sheet written by former owner Michael P. Conroy on the history of the hooker St. Patrick ('Bád Chonroy'), built by the Casey brothers in 1910-11 for Patrick D. Conroy of Garafin, County Galway. Michael P. Conroy states that 'This Hooker is generally accepted, by all recognised expert Sailorsmen[sic] of Connemara, as being the best Sailingboat, of it's[sic] design, up to the present day (1983)'. Michael P. Conroy sold the ship to new owners in 1950 in order to save it from deterioration in the era of truck transport. The article ends with the note that an image of the St. Patrick has been selected as the design of the Irish 22p postage stamp for the period 1982-86 and that the restored ship is now successfully raced in regattas.

Typed copy of an article by M.J. MacManus reflecting on Irish nationalism and the organisation of people of the countryside. The article begins by quoting both William Butler Yeats on his enthusiasm for the ideals of Irish tradition, and George William Russell (Æ) on his enthusiasm for rural Ireland as embodied in his participation in the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society founded by Horand Plunkett. MacManus concludes by tying Muintir na Tíre and its 'great work' into this tradition. A note appended to the front of the article reads 'Would Fr. Hayes' article be a commentary on this?'

Article written by Father Hayes (evidently for an Irish-American audience) on the Irish general election of 9 June 1927, specifically regarding the conduct of parties and candidates who did not make their intentions clear as to whether they supported or opposed the Oath of Allegiance. Father Hayes writes 'It is a pity that the clear issue could not be put before the people, without being crossed by party aims.' He writes that without the threat of war by England, the majority of Irish would vote for the removal of the oath. Father Hayes also laments the 'abandonment' of the Catholic population in Northern Ireland and that the boundary does not reflect the actual geographic distribution of the wishes of the inhabitants ('If, then, to appease the non-Irish section of the North East, this clause was rendered useless, surely to appease the consciences of a large section of our own people, the faithfulness to King George could also be eliminated.) He proclaims that in Cumann na nGaedheal and Fianna Fáil 'we have the best of our Irishmen... Let those two principle[sic] sections come together again... ...it is up to them to unite again and thus bring to a happy completion the results of their fight for freedom'. Father Hayes concludes by writing that over 90 percent of TDs were Catholic and 'Perhaps this unifying principle of religion may yet bring unity in our political struggles.'
