Madam, – May I avail of your esteemed newspaper to garner information on the life and family of Laurence O’Neill, the very influential lord mayor of Dublin, 1917-1924 and member of Seanad 1927-1936, and 1940 until to his death at his home in Portmarnock in 1943? He had four children but information about them is difficult to obtain. As I am preparing a biography, I should greatly welcome information about this family and indeed, any correspondence, written or oral accounts, and other forms of information concerning his life and career. – Yours, etc,
