Funnily enough a quieter room than the reading room. The prices are almost certainly in £sd and d's rather than s's in an army mess. These would probably have been snacks and optional extras as the soldiers would have been on rations which they would have eaten in one of the dining rooms in the Curragh Camp. No mention of time NLI or did the clock escape your eagle eye on this occasion??? 14,00 hours I make it? What is the dapper civilian doing in the other ranks coffee room?

Those prices would be in pence, as in £-s-d. Presumably, the cost of eating in their canteen was subsidised?

From my days in uniform I remember there was all ways somewhere other ranks could purchase extra food , drinks/tobacoo products etc. after their daily duties,usually subsidised.So I bet those prices are in pence. The 16th July 1916 being a Sunday would explain why these privates are present in the middle of the afternoon.

philip ward Thanks for reminding me about the Sunday thing. I've decided from now on to always add the day of the week to the Date part of each photo's description, and to tag the day as well. (Will have to do some retrofitting!) That way we can all search for photos on here by day as well as date, and who knows, the data could be useful...

The "strange fencing" is presumably rifle racks.

The wooden halls look like prototypes for the new suburban churches of the post-war Dublin suburbs. They could be the inspiration for Donnycarney or Finglas or Whitehall or any of a dozen other optimistically sized eyesores. I'd imagine they're actually mess halls.
