Kerry Reporter - Saturday 07 August 1920

RECOGNIZING THE IRISH REPUBLIC. The third party in the American contest—Presidential election—hare pledged themselves to recognize the Irish Republic and of the Soviet Government of Russia.

More USA 1920 election politics

MR. DE VALERA'S CHAGRIN. (FROM OCR CORRESPONDENT.) CHICAGO, June 11 The Republican platform is an embarrassing disappointment to Sinn Feiners. It contains not one word about the Irish question. Late on Wednesday night the Drafting Committee rejected by 12 votes to one the plank drawn up by Mr. Frank P. Walsh, recognizing "the Irish Republican Government," and adopted a declaration of sympathy with the Irish, edited by Mr. Daniel Cohalan. _ Mr. De Valera immediately issued a protest and a declaration that the Republican Party must recognize the Irish Republic as actually established.

The USA recognized the Irish Free State after the civil war in 1924. This has to be before then, when De Valera was was pressing for a Republic (the first time).

Google search suggests The American Commission on Irish Independence existed in 1919, to pressure the US in the 1919 Paris Peace conference post WW1.

Going to have to take a "today" shot from the same spot!

Shay Murphy Excellent! Don't forget to let us see it - and watch out for low-flying buses... :)

I would like to see the today shot as well. I am thinking there might be a lot of changes, but not sure....keep me posted please!

Not sure what they were but they were hollow with holes across the top, as though they were vents for something below ground! I always like the monument and felt that the quote was a really powerful statement.

Google Streetview here.

I would assume it's from after 1891, as that is when Parnell died. Glasnevin has a a Streetview equivalent, but I'm not sure if it's linkable.

All newspapers through the 1890s and into the early 20th century report processions through Dublin and out to Glasnevin on the anniversary of Parnell’s death. By 1907, the Irish Independent reported that there were comparatively few in the procession, though the streets en route were lined by large crowds. The Great Southern railway had laid on ten special trains — two from Cork alone carrying over 1,000 visitors — so if 1907 was comparatively small, the initial commemorations must have been huge!

Carol Maddock Apparently there were over a quarter of a million at the funeral.

UCC has some photos from October 1891: His family at the grave, and the grave itself.

Carol Maddock The Glasgow Herald account of the parade on the 4th anniversary of his death said that it was smaller than in previous years - there were 'only' 63 bands compared with 69 the previous year!
