Con Markiewicz ina hóige. Bhí sí Foleifteanant sna Éiri Amach na Cásca. Bhí sí ar an gcead bean tofa go an Teach na dTeachtaí , agus an gcead bean in Éireann ceaptha go an chomh-aireacht (mar Aire Saothair, 2ú is 3ú Dáil). Fuair sí bas ar 15 Iúil 1927.

In this photograph, Constance and Eva Gore-Booth pose in evening dress. Both sisters are to be seen wearing an armband entitled Drumcliffe Co-operative Creamery.

This was to advertise the new creamery in the area, which Sir Henry Gore-Booth played an integral role in establishing. The foundation of the creamery is yet another example of the close knit relationship between the Gore-Booth family and their tenants in the locality.
