7 by 5 in.




An Sloinnteoir Gaeilge agus an tAinmneoir by Muiris Ó Droighneáin, 80pp, 2nd edition. With notation on title page "A.A. Spence L/K 1976" Book with translations of names and surnames from Irish to English and English to Irish. An interesting insight into the literature that Gusty had whilst in Long Kesh. Spence and some other Loyalist prisoners attended Irish language courses, including some taught by Frank McArt, (Proinnsias MacAirt) well known IRA man, and were proud of their Fáinne Nua badges. Naturally Spence was particularly interested in the Ulster dialect.
