See - tidesandtales.ie/hms-juno-and-stormcock-at-waterford-1902/ I expect that we will find out more ...

From above site - "... The occasion was a Vice regal tour of the coast by the then Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Dudley. Along with other dignitaries they had toured the south coast aboard HMS Juno (1895) examining coastal defences, sights of interest and visiting and/or attending social engagements at Glengarriff, Cork City and finally dropping anchor at Dunmore East on Wednesday 29th October 1902. The plan for the day was that what was described as a Royal Navy Tender Stormcock would convey the party up the harbour to the city. In the city they were to meet the town dignitaries. The report goes on to say that “…Alderman W G Goff, Jr, Glenville… will place his two motor cars at the disposal of their Excellencies. After lunch with Alderman Goff they will take a drive in the neighbourhood. They will then return the Juno and sleep on board, the Juno meanwhile proceeding Kingstown, which will be reached on Thursday morning. Their Excellencies will then return by special train from Kingstown to Dublin ..."

Wednesday 22 June 1932 according to - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/16911642 - "... The church was tastefully decorated with festoons of foliage, and hanging baskets of hydrangeas between the pillars. ... "

Was this on Wednesday, 22 June 1932? The Irish Press reported in Thursday 23rd's paper about "cheering crowds" and "high-pitched enthusiasm" as the Papal Legate [Cardinal Lorenzo Lauri] and other church dignitaries drove and then processed to the Pro-Cathedral.

A mighty roar from three thousand throats signalled his arrival. Cardinal Lorenzo Lauri was evidently gratified by the warmth of the welcome. He smiled and blessed those who had greeted him. Accompanied by his suite he entered the Pro-Cathedral. A few minutes earlier a distinguished procession of the nine cardinals attending the Eucharistic Congress walked in single file to the Pro-Cathedral. Cardinal MacRory was at the rear... Catholic Boy Scouts, carrying their standard colours, and a company of Catholic Sea Scouts from the Port of Galway, the nucleus of the Free State Mercantile Marine, formed the guard of honour.

Unsurprisingly, Dev and Sean T. O'Kelly were there, and the ever popular Alfie Byrne, Lord Mayor of Dublin (the "Shaking Hand of Dublin"). I should be able to get an approximate time of days from one of the newspaper reports.

The name of the director of the Metropolitan Opera ist Heinrich Conried, not "Conreid" as written in the title and the description of the foto. As Conried died on 27 Apr 1909, the foto can be dated correctly with 1909. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Conried

..and there's a 1909 date in the margin.
