Lonergan it seems left to join his Family in the U.S.A. in 1914. Therefore, the photo is not 1915 or middle of front row is not Lonergan. Lonergan statement - BMH
DannyM8 said:
Throughout these early pioneering years of the Fianna, Lonergan’s family frequently asked him to join them in the United States; despite his love of Ireland and his passion for the Fianna and the newly founded Irish Volunteers, these constant appeals eventually persuaded him in 1914 to ‘up sticks’ and leave his homeland to be re-united with his family in New York City.

Carol Maddock said:
DannyM8 Think it is deffo Michael Lonergan, so before or during April 1914 then? Also interesting that he writes of the Houlihan brothers, rather than Holohan. I think I've seen Holahan as a spelling also.
DannyM8 said:
Carol Maddock Carol Yes to the date range. I have seen this picture on other sites with the 1915 date.

Padraig Ryan is probably the Padriag O'Riain mentioned in the Fianna Eireann wiki article as being secretary.

I think this is the right spot - streetview - goo.gl/maps/q3D8PHUpVhr
Edit: Or maybe a bit further back to include Sir John Gray's statue - goo.gl/maps/KuyKpzxtFhS2

Streetview around O'Connell Street has gone beserk!

In this Thomas Westropp photograph taken from the pillar and dated 18th May 1916, the remaining ruins of the Hibernian bank above have been demolished.
So taken between Mon 24th April and 18th May 1916.
Edit:
Another Westropp from the day before (17th May) showing men within the rubble of the demolished bank. So Pre 17th May 1916

Such an extraordinary image. What an impact it must have had upon the people of Dublin to have seen that.

One of the interesting things about this shot is that you can just make out the fallen flagpole from which the "Irish Republic" flag flew - it's on the near top corner of the GPO. (At least, that's what I read somewhere years ago!)
