Copy of press cutting of article entitled “3 minutes that led to fame” by J Doran O’Reilly, on Siobhán McKenna.

3 sheets of strong card with newspaper cuttings pasted on each side. One cutting is a report of the speech made by Peter Freyer at the Irish Medical Schools and Graduates' Association dinner on the presentation of the Arnott memorial medal to Dr Brendan MacCarthy. The presentation was made on account of MacCarthy's unselfish devotion to the people of the Island of Arranmore, Co Donegal, during a typhus outbreak the previous autumn. Dr William Smyth, the medical officer of the Burtonport district, died from typhus after he and MacCarthy had evacuated the people from the island (The Irish Times, 19 Mar 1902). A newspaper cutting of a poem, composed by L M Little, in memory of Dr Smyth, is pasted on the first page. On the back of the second page another newspaper cutting records the presentation of the Arnott memorial medal to Capt Thomas Joseph Crean, who 'went out to South Africa in 1896 as one of the International Rugby football team, and played for Ireland on several occasions'. He won the medal for his bravery during the Boer War, while attending the wounded 'during the action against De Wet at Tygerskloof on the 18th of December 1901' (The Irish Times, 27 Nov 1902). Another cutting from St James's Gazette of 22 Mar 1902 is a comparative statistical table about the Oxford/Cambridge annual boat race. Part of a cutting recounts speeches at a dinner attended by Lord Roberts, at which the band of the Irish Guards played.
