| Summary: | Connolly O'Brien writes of the public's opinion and judgement of O'Brien's talk "I believe you and I had the same end in view - you in your broadcast talk and I in my book [Portrait of a Rebel Father] - to bring James Connolly before the minds of people as a real person not as a historical or political name.". Connolly O'Brien also speaks of the controversial article in 'The Times' whereby James Larkin stated he helped Conolly home, however he was in jail at this time. |
