De Valera was arrested on 15 August 1923, under the Public Safety Act, as he was about to make a speech at Ennis and was imprisoned until July 1924. Despite this, Clare elected de Valera top of the poll in the general election on 27 August 1923. Eamonn de Valera continued to represent Clare for the rest of his active political career.

Wonderfull image, the expression on the face of the priest, the guy over Dev's shoulder, so much in this shot

NOT 15th August? “From the early hours things were astir and it was evident that the meeting would be of immense proportions. Large contingents from districts with bands and flags arrived by motor car and foot prior to and during the progress of the meeting,” reported the Clare Champion. “At 2pm the dimensions of the crowd had swelled to an enormous extent and punctually on the stroke of 2pm, de Valera arrived. He was dressed in a black overcoat and plain dark suit. He wore a black hat, a white flanned collar and a brown tie. www.irishidentity.com/extras/patriots/stories/devarrest.htm

That Dev lurking in at the side of the camera Carol?

ClickKen04 Definitely Eamon de Valera! Hoping that's Margaret Pearse on the other side of the newsreel camera. Also hoping for help in identifying others...

That is Cathal Brugha front and centre with the hat and mac. Brugha died of wounds received in action against Free State troops on 7th July, 1922. Either Wikipedia is wrong with his date of death or the date in the catalogue is incorrect. Worthy of further research methinks.

Cheers Carol. Interesting of who might be who in this collective of political & Social Irish personnel of the time!

John Thanks, should have recognized Cathal Brugha myself. You're absolutely right - Brugha died on Friday, 7 July 1922, so that blows our original dating out of the water...

The Long Fellow himself complete with Fáinne and book of advanced mathematics puzzles. He was so young looking then before he became either adored or reviled, depending on your perspective. Sorry Carol, had begun commenting before I spotted your question - the answer is, he is wearing neither as I understand it! A lorgnette was spectacles on a stick or handle but what he is wearing appears to be "pince nez" or nose pinchers!
Niall McAuley said:
Those glasses do have a little stick or handle on the right (our left).
Swordscookie said:
That's true, but a lorgnette was normally presented to the eye as required whereas with Dev they were required equipment to enable him to see at any distance. Pince Nez were more his style and the little handle saved one from muddying the waters so to speak!

Any evidence on where the 'Big Fella' was at the same time Carol? I know there were very few photos of Collins, so was just curious if there was anything comparitive in the archives by any chance? Tks, K.
