    The “Major” as he was known in later Irish Press days.

    1932 – 1982: Served as a continuous member of the board of directors for The Irish Press.1951 – 1982: Held the powerful executive position of managing director, controlling the day-to-day business operations and editorial trajectory of the group's papers.1982: Remained actively at the helm of the organization until his death from cancer in February 1982 at age 71

    Vivion's death marked a turning point for the media group. Control of the company was passed down to his son, Éamon de Valera (Vivion's grandson). Following his tenure, the company suffered extreme financial stress, legal battles with minority shareholders, and shifting media landscapes, which ultimately led to the sudden, permanent shutdown of The Irish Press titles in May 1995

    Wolfe Tones grave at Bodenstown catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000355643
  • Suck Diesel said:
    "Republicans, you have come here today to the tomb of Wolfe Tone on a pilgrimage of loyalty. By your presence you proclaim your undiminished attachment to the ideals of Tone, and your unaltered devotion to the cause for which he gave his life. It is your answer to those who would have it believed that the Republic of Ireland is dead and its cause abandoned." - de Valera, Bodenstown 1925
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Streetview of the graveyard, the Wolfe Tone memorial is on the other side of the ruined church. [Edit} Corrected, thanks O Mac

    Trying to find a flickr shot, but many are NSFW with assorted dodgy characters in them.

    Alright, I admit it; I too scribbled spectacles on pictures when I was four!
  • John Spooner said:
    beachcomber australia And moustaches. I have no doubt that the moustaches in this photo are genuine, but some are of a style which went out of fashion at the time of the Emergency, and as far as I am aware never returned.

    That's Kathleen Clarke sitting on the other side of the Long Fellow.

    Roll up, roll up! For a limited time period, we're accepting bets/educated guesses as to whether this was taken after the June or after the September elections in 1927.

We need names and a location, etc.

    FOGRA - The three Marys are taking a little holiday over the Easter weekend, we will be away on manoeuvres on Good Friday and Easter Monday (to avoid the April fools’ jokes etc.)

    Normal service will resume on Tuesday 2nd April.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    I have a feeling that we have seen moustached and bearded man in the centre before but can’t think where. HELP!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    De Valera was in Geneva July 1936. On 2nd, he gave a speech on the failure of the League of Nations.

    Indeed, in the catalogue there is a note: Male, first on left side, was an Irish delegate for the League of nations in 1936, which can be assumed where this picture was taken.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The lad with glasses looks Scandinavian to me, then maybe a Latin type and a Frenchman?

    No Easter April Fools' jokes? That's eggstreme!
