Nationalist Volunteers should come forward...

Lilian Spender

Political observer, philanthropist and wife of Wilfred Spender

[General Mullaly] is very keen that we should not lay too much stress upon Ulsters’ part in volunteering, but they make it an Irish movement. I told him there was nothing we should like better if the Nationalist Volunteers should come forward, but where are they? Why doesn’t Redmond make a recruiting speech, as Carson did?
