The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- James Joyce's short story "Ivy Day in the Committee Room" features several Irish canvassers discussing Parnell's memory.
- A report of the 6 October 1900 procession from central Dublin past the foundation stone of the yet-incomplete Parnell Monument to Glasnevin Cemetery described the scene at the grave: As the cemetery was approached, the bands substituted dirgeful music for the National airs which they had been playing.
- At Glasnevin there was a period of great impressiveness as the procession filed round the Parnell circle, the crowds standing round remaining with their hands uncovered.
