Thanks for the reply Maggsie. Can you post a link for where you found the cup was named after a Pat Liddy. I searched Google using Pat Liddy the Liddy cup, but didn't get any hits.

Regards.
Paul.

There are newspaper snippets which refer to the Dr Liddy cup and the Charles Liddy cup - are they the same?

Perhaps this relevant - page 17.

“Charles Liddy, a member of the FAIFS Council, makes Jack Ryder aware of his intention to propose the following motion: ‘That this Council instructs its advisory committee to re-open negotiations with the Northern Ireland Association, with a view to arriving at an amicable settlement’. The proposal was later withdrawn (12 May 1929).”

Sorry for the delay in replying and many thanks to Maggsie, Heywood and Dathai for your posts. Dathai, it is great that you were able to post a photo of Charles Liddy. Can I impose on you further and ask why you state there were confectioners in the family, as this is not obvious from the material I have on the family? (very hard to ask this question without sounding cheeky!).
Thanks again.
Paul.
