    I think we have seen that chain on Mayors of Waterford before...

    Here is a different Mayor of Waterford wearing it: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000591753 And here: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000036845/Image?lookfor=http:...

    One year later, and one mayor later. The previous image (below) is Edward Walsh (Mayor 1928-29). www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/6061514031/ Which would likely make this portrait image John Wyley (Mayor 1926-27). At least according to Wikipedia and the NLI catalogue.

    It also says "Waterford" above his head... (As part of the coat of arms and motto of Waterford City: "Urbs Intacta Manet Waterfordia")
  • Niall McAuley said:
    wikipedia has a list, and suggests that in 1926 and 1927 the Mayor was John J. Wyley

    He does look well and it is nice to put a face to a name. Obviously he and the wife made a good combination. That is a very historic chain around his neck, a symbol of British rank and station yet one that should be treasured for the connections with our country down the centuries! TO ALL OUR FLICKR COMMUNITY - I JUST SAW OUR CAROL ON THE RADIO talking about this photostream!

    Paul Freeney Interesting! Just tested it out and it does seem a bit wonky (technical term). Use cmaddock@nli.ie instead...

    Swordscookie Tattle Tale! If I'd known they had NewstalkTV, I'd have made more of an effort with this face made for radio... :D

J. Quinlan Esq., High Sheriff, Barrack Street, Waterford

    From the Irish Times of March 6, 1909: "Before Mr. H.F. Feeley, Commissioner for Oaths, Mr. James Quinlan was sworn in as High Sherriff of the City of Waterford, and Mr. James Collins as Under-Sherriff." If he was sworn in in March 1909, he must be near the end of his term.

    Man boobs ! It looks like another Quinlan, "M.", the Mayor of Waterford, liked full finery too - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000591753
  • DannyM8 said:
    Sharon Corbet It looks like he was appointed again to the same office in January 1911 as per the Irish Times
  • DannyM8 said:
    It seems clear that he was High Sheriff for 1909 and 1911
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Interesting beachcomber australia (the Quinlan connection rather than the shape made by the chain :) ) Do we think M Quinlan (Mayor) and J Quinlan (Sheriff) were related? Or just lots of Quinlans in that part of the world...?
