  I think the fez-wearing man is here, meaning that it is probably Tailteann Games dignitaries again:

  Some overlaps with this group? (Or am I just being swayed by the fez?) www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/18426438103/ [EDIT: Snap Sharon Corbet :) ]

  The account of the opening of the Tailteann Games in the London Times on Monday, Aug 04, 1924 says

  Mr Healy was accompanied by Sir John and Lady Lavery, and with him in the stand were Mr. Compton MacKenzie, Mr Augustus John, Mr G K Chesterton, Mr John MacCormack and Sir Edwin Lutyens, and a number of representative foreigners.

  Is that Augustus John third from left on the back row, with his best side towards the camera as in the Time cover? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_John#/media/File:Time-maga... I'm not so sure now. [edit; I'm convinced it isn't him, but the picture of him in the London Times at the even's garden party has his head at exactly the same angle]
