My first thought that the Krazy Kataloger had got his initials and abbreviations mixed up, and that Mr Fogarty was a Justice of the Peace. My apologies to the KK for being suspicious, but there was in fact a Mr John P Fogarty JP who was chairman of Castlecomer Board of Guardians (Kilkenny Moderator - Saturday 03 June 1916)

Irish Independent - Wednesday 18 November 1942:
MR. JOHN P. FOGARTY Mr. John P. Fogarty, Leinster Rd., Dublin, who died, was a member of a well-known Castlecomer family. Over 20 years ago he was prominent in public life, having been a former member of Kilkenny Co. Council and other local bodies. He was one of the National Directors of the old United Irish League and a close friend of the leaders and members of the Irish Parliamentary Party.

Crikey! Kilkenny Moderator - Saturday 20 March 1915
DISASTROUS FIRE IN CASTLECOMER. PREMISES GUTTED. • At an early on Friday morning last a serious outbreak of fire occurred in the business establishment and residence of Mr. John P. Fogarty, .J.P.. M.C.C., Castlecomer. The signal of the outbreak having been given, the police and inhabitants of the town rushed to the scene of the conflagration, but the fire had got such a hold on the building, despite the united efforts of police and civilians, that the whole premises, including the 'entire stock-in-trade both in the drapery, grocery, and wine departments, as well as the furniture in the living rooms, were completely destroyed by the flames; fortunately no lives were lost. At great peril to himself Mr. Fogarty succeeded in rescuing Mrs. Fogarty and their little child from the burning building. The only means of escape was by the front first-floor window, as the ground floor was completely enveloped in flames, but with the assistance of a willing band of workers Mrs. Fogarty and her little one were safely rescued and were followed by Mr. Fogarty. [...] Nothing now remains of the once splendid premises but a heap of desolate ruins, and universal sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Fogarty in their great misfortune.

I have a vague memory of seeing this in the RDS in Ballsbridge?
guliolopez said:
I was just gonna say DannyM8 that it didn't like any room in the National Museum that I know. But those pillars behind do look like the columns supporting the mezzanine in the RDS exhibition hall. I may however just be proving that I don't spend enough time in our capital's cultural institutions :) www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/21050077350/

WALTER POLLOCK HAMILTON VC ... www.inistioge.ie/150/Walter_Pollock_Hamilton_VC_.html "A slightly over-life-size statue of Hamilton striding over an Afghan threatening him with a knife was produced in bronze-painted plaster by Charles Bell Birch in Dublin in around 1880. It is now on display in the National Army Museum, Chelsea, as is a plaque to him (set up in the Punjab Frontier Force Chapel, then in the sanctum crypt of St. Lukes Chapel, Chelsea)."

Displaying this scene during the Siege of the British Residency in Kabul on September 3, 1879: "Hamilton faced the oncoming Afghan wave, and emptied his revolver into them before being overwhelmed and killed. His stand allowed his 5 surviving men to retreat inside the compound." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_the_British_Residency_in_K...

de Neuflize? If this is the same Baron Jean de Neuflize (1850-1928) he was a French banker who's main claim to fame was winning a bronze at the Paris 1900 Olymipics for Mail Coach driving.
bawdy kittens said:
As O Mac says I suspect this is the Parisian banker Baron Jean Poupart de Neuflize and his wife. Their only daughter Roberte (born 1892) married Vere Brabazon Ponsonby, son of Edward Ponsonby, Viscount Duncannon (later Earl of Bessborough).
O Mac said:
Possibly taken at Bessborough , Piltown, Co Kilkenny. Poole has our Baron there with group and another Bessborough photograph of a vase/urn matching the one in the photo.

O Mac The map matches, anyway: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,646779,622713,12,9

Bessborough was burnt down in 1923 and rebuilt 1929 to accommodate use as convent and then became an agricultural college, post-1944. (NIAH) So 1901 to Pre 1923.. His homburg would suggest post 1910
