| Summary: | Lehane left the Cork Branch of the Irish Socialist Republican Party and joined the Finsbury Park Branch of the Social Democratic Federation in 1902 following tensions with the Catholic Church. Lehane asserts "I hold myself free to work for the cause in any place I chose, and think myself quite entitled to change my place of residence whenever I like. I am not a bit angry over what you say about my being a 'deserter', as I think I understand your motive". |
