[1] A list of the party's executive committee member submitted to the 1934 Banking Commission includes Maud Gonne MacBride and Josephine Fitzgerald.

Before the meeting could commence, an angry anti-Communist mob, seemingly provoked by a party banner exclaiming ‘social justice through Social Credit’, smashed the platform and destroyed books and literature before launching missiles, including cabbage stalks at party members, including Gonne.

In 1948, he entered the Seanad Éireann for Clann na Poblachta,[5] the republican and broadly social-democratic party of Maud Gonne's son, Seán MacBride, making him the first Northern Ireland resident to serve in the Oireachtas.
