No. 343 NAI TSCH/3/S9361/E

Letter from John A. Costello to the Reverend E. White1 (Arklow)
(Copy)

Dublin, 23 May 1955

Because of your interest in the reunification of our country, I am taking the liberty of sending you herewith a few pamphlets which have been published by the Committee of the Mansion House All-Party Anti-Partition Conference and which give, I think, all the important facts about Partition.

Partition is a wrong that must be righted. It has proved itself to be the source of evil for both parts of Ireland and for Britain herself, and it can with truth be said that nothing good has ever come out of it for any of the three communities affected by it. It can be ended without injustice to the Unionist minority in Ireland; indeed, its undoing may well prove to be the beginning of a new, more fruitful and more influential life than that minority has ever known. In an unpartitioned Ireland, the whole nation can co-operate to make the motherland an example to the world.

1 Rev. E. White, Fairhaven, Ferrybank, Arklow, Co. Wicklow.
