A 'Suffragette Incident' was recorded in the Waterford Express of 15th February 1913: Just before Mr. Redmond alighted from his train and while he was being welcomed by friends two ladies got out of a third-class carriage.

One of them – said to be a Dublin lady, pushed her way towards Mr Redmond. The lady then said 'You are going to open a free bridge are you? Will you open a free bridge to votes for women?' Mr. Redmond just smiled.
