    Streetview. Marked on the 25" (1900ish), but not surrounded by the little Redmond Square park at the time.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Dates from 1867, per the NIAH. It now has: inscribed panels listing members of the Redmond political dynasty including (clockwise): John Edward Redmond MP (1806-65) of The Deeps (cf. 15703742); Captain William Archer Redmond MP (1886-1932); William Archer Redmond MP (1825-80) of Ballytrent House (cf. 15704850); Major William "Willie" Redmond MP (1861-1917); and John Edward Redmond MP (1856-1918), Chairman of the Parnellite Minority (fl. 1891-1900) and Chairman of the Irish Parliamentary Party (fl. 1900-18). though obviously not all of that was present in 1867.

    "ARDCANDRISK HOUSE:
    HAUNTED AND ABANDONED
    The house was located just off the Ferrycarrig to Killurin road.
    Elizabeth Deane, known as ‘Lady Dane’, was a daughter of Hamilton Grogan of Johnstown Castle. An animal lover, she had the swan drinking trough installed in the Faythe. When her husband died, her cousin Florence moved into Ardcandrisk as her companion. Lady Dane later bequeathed the house to Florence.
    When the house passed to Nathaniel Cookman of Monart House, he claimed to have been visited by the ghost of Florence one night. From then on, Cookman refused to spend another night in the house and instead slept in his boat on the Slaney. He finally abandoned the mansion and allowed it to fall into ruin. ...

    I don't think the young people in shot are Elizabeth and Florence at any date. Nor are they the servants.

I can sense a claim coming on!

    The headline "Tailor's Rash Act" appeared in the New Ross Standard on Friday 15 May 1936. The tailor on question was Michael Murphy. He had taken his own life.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Spooner Thank you for giving us the date! That isn't a headline you'd see nowadays following such a tragic event.
  • John Spooner said:
    The "Free flights for readers" offer was in the same edition. 12 flights were available, decided by ballot.

    But its withdrawal was announced in the 22nd May edition, due to the Department of Justice stating that the ballot and publishing of the results would be illegal.
