1990

Haughey looks pleased...

Peter, I thought that Haughey handled that very well at the time, he is quite deadpan here but he spoke and acted very magnanimously. It really is one of those that all us snappers would love to have taken!

Nice Photo ( back then ) Glad she won. Most likely a good President of a great Land.

As a twelve year old girl, at the time, I was so happy she won. The hard-hearted grumpy old cynic that I am now would say "but what difference does it make - it's only a ceremonial role." At the time though she seemed so vibrant and optimistic compared to all the old grey men in grey suits. It was definitely the first time I took any interest in politics. So thanks NLI, for putting me in touch with my inner idealist if only for a moment. And thanks Mrs Robinson.

Sheba78 Yes, if this hadn't been a November shot, I could have called it "Here's to you, Mrs Robinson"! :) And you should always bring your inner idealist out for a walk every now and then...

One newspaper article claims Mr. Kerley came to Rohr as CEO in 1993.

Looks to me like this was taken from my old school, Portora?

Nick Stewart I think so, from the angle.

Walter was a real gentleman. Yep, that is taken from Portora and there in the lower foreground is the open air swimming pool, scene of manys a freezing cold swimming experience.

Paul Thanks for all your notes on the photo - have added them into our tags. Did you know Walter Brady then? I didn't know he had died... Here are all of Walter's photos (not yet digitised) that we have from the Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I went to school with his son, David. So I did not really know him that well, just as a really friendly Dad of my friend. I remember seeing some of his photos years ago and would be keen to see more. As far as I recall he was a great man for the slides and had hundreds, if not thousands.
