Other press reports say that 5 of the 7 members of the delegation were Quakers.

In order that the truth of the existing conditions in Ireland should be known, the Committee sent a delegation of American citizens, all of whom were members of the religious Society of Friends, to make an impartial investigation and ascertain to what extent the American Committee might be called upon for aid. The delegation consisted of Messrs. R. Barclay Spicer, Phila- delphia, Pa. ; Oren B. Wilbur, Greenwich, N. Y. ; Philip W. Furnas, Canby, Ind. ; William Price, Philadelphia, Pa.; John C. Baker, Everett, Pa.; and Walter C. Longstreth, Philadelphia, Pa. They were accompanied by Messrs. C. J. France, Seattle, Wash., Chair- man, and Samuel D. McCoy, New York City, Secretary, and arrived in Ireland on February 12, 1921. Their report, which is printed in full on pages 62 to 67, was used as the basis of the amount of relief work that the Committee might have to furnish. archive.org/details/irelandcommitt00amerrich/page/48/mode... So if that's them, we're missing a few.

At the annual meeting of the Irish Agricultural Organization Society in Dublin on March 22nd last, at which Mr. France was present, the annual report was submitted. So possibly March 1921?

I think these may be Elinor's nieces again. Dates not always reliable.

Park bench view

The park bench needs several new wooden slats after 60+ years of Dublin weather, and the 'new' flying buttress has blended in well -

I love the old guy snoozing on the bench 😍. Lovely shiny shoes and cap down on the eyes.

Lovely!

Ooo - there's an old Rolls Royce peeping around the corner ...

Streetview: goo.gl/maps/XWBgVWtCAWDizwM1A I never knew there was once a petrol station there.

If that's a Triumph Dolomite driving away from the camera, minimum date is 1972.

There's a 1970-1980 Mercedes wheel trim visible between the Triumph and the Morris, if anyone can date it a bit more accurately.

derangedlemur It is a Triumph 2000 MK 1 On the subject of Esso petrol stations and also Shell have a look at The Chris Barker collection He has two there from Dublin that could do with a bit of further info please.
