THE ‘PACT’ ELECTION, A POLLING CARD
Parliamentary Election, 1922. North West Dublin
Constituency. June 16th 1922. New Kilmainham
Ward. Printed by Dollard, Dublin, and Published by the
Candidates. Printed card, one side only,
A polling card for the ‘Pact’ election, listing the four
National Sinn Fein Panel candidates in bold type, with a
fifth candidate in ordinary type. The Panel candidates are
Richard Mulcahy, Joseph (Joe) McGrath, Michael Staines
and Philip Cosgrave (brother of W.T. Cosgrave). The sole
non-panel candidate is John Thomas O’Farrell. A very rare
survival.
The ‘Pact’ was an attempt to present a united front at the
general election between pro-and anti-Treaty Sinn Fein,
with selected candidates broadly representing the existing
balance in the Dail. It broke down in the closing stages,
with Collins in particular accused of urging voters to favour
the pro-Treaty candidates.
