Description
Printed anti-catholic nationalist ballad entitled 'The Sinn Fein Rout.' First verse "Have you heard about the trouble that started in July, the Fenians in the shipyards for their lives they had to fly, to see them running down the roads, it was a rare old lark, you'd have thought it was a whippet race up at Celtic Park."

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.
