    That Dev lurking in at the side of the camera Carol?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    ClickKen04 Definitely Eamon de Valera! Hoping that's Margaret Pearse on the other side of the newsreel camera. Also hoping for help in identifying others...

    That is Cathal Brugha front and centre with the hat and mac. Brugha died of wounds received in action against Free State troops on 7th July, 1922. Either Wikipedia is wrong with his date of death or the date in the catalogue is incorrect. Worthy of further research methinks.

    Cheers Carol. Interesting of who might be who in this collective of political & Social Irish personnel of the time!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Thanks, should have recognized Cathal Brugha myself. You're absolutely right - Brugha died on Friday, 7 July 1922, so that blows our original dating out of the water...

    It was the evening of Sunday 10 June 1917, according to the Sydney Morning Herald of 12/6/17 p.7 - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/15714554
    A later message states:- An attempt to hold a prohibited meeting in Dublin on Sunday evening culminated in a riot. When Count Plunkett and a man named Brugha drove up in a motor near Liberty Hall, about 1000 surged round the car. Brugha called out "The British Government will not allow us freedom of speech." A police-man pulled him from the car. Plunkett tried to stop the mob from shouting, he also was arrested. Meanwhile, the police dispersed the greater part of the mob. Inspector Mills was escorting the prisoners when someone felled him with a stick. He died later.
