Temperance Procession

3 pp; Manuscript

A copy report of a temperance procession held in Cork at Easter in 1842. The report provides a list of temperance societies and bands which marched on this occasion. The report may have been transcribed from a newspaper report published during the Father Mathew centenary celebrations in 1890. The report also has a copy of the ‘Centenary Ode’ composed for Fr. Mathew by Eugene Davis which was recited by Fr. Michael O’Flynn, CC, Saint Peter and Saint Paul’s Church, during the commemorations.
