Yes, Maggie Jordan was a great friend of my Grandmothers. I have a photograph of a reunion sometime in the 1940's of the Drumcondra Branch CnamB. These ladies held annual reunions & one particular year they decided to meet in the Gresham Hotel Dublin. The general manager at the time was a Cork man named Timothy 'Toddy' oSullivan. Upon finding out exactly who these women were, he put the hotel at their service complimentary. Today, Toddys Bar in the Gresham is named after oSullivan. Last November I gave Liz Gillis a copy of this photograph to use in her book 'Women of the Irish Revolution'. Rose Fitzpatrick & Maggie Jordan are also featured in this photo. My father (90) can name some of the women.

Ang, I will try to post the photo on this forum. Also, last year I gave Liz Gillis a number of photos of my grandmother including the reunion one. She published them in her book 'Women of the Irish Revolution' released last November.
I am pretty sure Margaret Jordan is in the photo too.

My Grandmother was Mary Boyce, Drumcondra Branch CnamB. I have a photo of a reunion some time in the 1940's of Drumcondra Branch taken in the Gresham Hotel.
The GM of The Gresham at the time was a Timothy (Toddy) o Sullivan. When he heard who exactly the reunion was for, he put the hotel at the ladies disposal & all charges were waived. Toddys Bar in the Gresham is named after him. My father 90yrs old) can name most of the women in the photo as he remembers them calling to his mother.
