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.

"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

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
