Ivy Day In the Committee Room

the long version

As a few minor politicians discuss child-rearing and bicker about defending a rival candidate, one, Joe Hynes, reminds them it is Ivy Day, in memory of Charles Stewart Parnell. A silence falls on the room briefly, before the politicians resume their bad-mouthing and discussions. ---------- Also contained in: - [Dubliners](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL86329W/Dubliners) - [Dubliners / Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15073371W/Dubliners_Portrait_of_the_Artist_as_a_Young_Man) - [Essential James Joyce](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL86338W/The_Essential_James_Joyce) - [Portable James Joyce](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL86334W/The_Portable_James_Joyce) - [The realm of fiction: 61 short stories](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL4092122W)
