John Ballance - not a lone voice

John Ballance was by no means the only Ulster voice calling for equality of opportunity in New Zealand during the late 19th century. Another native of Ulster has been recalled for her efforts to ensure the new nation was based on fairness for those working in factories. The Ulster History Circle has erected a blue plaque at Killeshandra Church of Ireland, Co Cavan, to commemorate Margaret Scott Hawthorne (1869-1958).
