Component identifier:: Series MS 1587
Extent:: 2 items
Content Summary:: Duffy was one of the parliamentarians who signed the first memorial. The two memorials were drawn up in 1854 or early 1855 during the struggle between Irish nationalists and Archbishop Paul Cullen over the involvement of Catholic priests in Irish political affairs. It was intended that the second petition would be brought to Rome by a deputation of priests, but this did not eventuate.
