The writing desk of The O'Rahilly

The writing desk of The O'Rahilly survives.
It is marked with the initials "M.J.R." (which is The O'Rahilly, not his uncle or grandfather).

See list of documents left in the desk.

The desk was in Finucane's pub for a long time.
Michael Finucane gave the desk to the O'Rahilly/Humphreys family in 2012.
Manchán Magan made a list of the contents.
In 2017, the desk and contents were given by the family to Kerry County Museum, Tralee.
