Belfast - Description
- Unreserved ticket, costing one shilling, for a public meeting held at Celtic Park Football Grounds on 8th February 1912 under the auspices of the Ulster Liberal Association. This pro-Home Rule meeting in its new location at Belfast’s Celtic Park football ground on 8th February 1912. The meeting was supposed to take place in the Ulster Hall but had to be quickly rescheduled after some Unionists threatened to use force in order to prevent it being held at this city centre venue. The ticket shows the main platform speakers – from left to right: Winston Churchill (Liberal MP), William Pirrie (Chairman of Harland & Wolff), and John Redmond. Churchill, who spoke in favour of Home Rule, was mobbed by angry Unionists at the port of Belfast on his departure from the city.

National Museums NI holds over a million objects in the collection, as well as this we manage the records and associated images for each object through a working database. The national collection has been almost 200 years in the making, and we recognise that thinking about collecting and collections has evolved over this time and continues to evolve. As a result, some of our records may contain language and views that we now consider offensive and unacceptable, for example, reflecting racist attitudes. We are committed to addressing these issues, and to reviewing and updating our records accordingly. Working with researchers, communities and academic partners we are learning more about the stories behind objects, and we are committed to sharing these with our audiences. We welcome feedback.
