| Notes: | The first copy book has 109 pp. with rebel songs and poems. The second copy book has 101 pp. with articles, poems, speeches and pasted in pictures cut out of periodicals, postcards,small photographs and press clippings of events during and after the Rising and images of Pearse, Heuston, O'Rahilly, McDonagh, Ceannt, Daly and others. The first copybook has some unusual rebel songs [relating to Cumann na mBan for instance] and a large number appear to have been originally written by prisoners held in Knutsford Detention Barracks in Cheshire. In the second copybook[with an image of Pearse pasted onto the cover] is an interesting handbill [n.d. and lacking bottom part] entitled "Join the Irish Volunteers" listing parades taking place around Parnell Square, Fairview, Ringsend, Glasnevin and Cullenswood House [Rathfarnham, near St. Enda's, Pearses' school for boys]. Mungret College, Limerick was a Jesuit apostolic school and a lay secondary school from 1882 until 1974. It had previously been an agricultural college and a Limerick diocesan seminary until 1888.
