    a quick Google flags up a series of NLI held docs from the 1880s where he seems to have acted as a Government solicitor ?

    If the same man he was a resident magistrate.. RM..who took part in the Vandeleur evictions in 1888. Not well liked in Moyasta and beyond.

    If that's our legal chap, it seems like that more than his waistcoat was stuffed (allegedly)

    “Roche's appointment to the position
    of Resident Magistrate over other, more senior
    Removable Magistrates was questioned, as was
    his ability to impartially enforce the Crimes Act,
    given his association with the Loyal and Patriotic
    Union, a fervently anti-Home Rule organization. '3
    Roche's reputation for harsh sentencing and for
    self-importance was likewise a cause for complaint
    in the House of Commons." In this photograph he
    wears a check-pattern yellow-hued suit, which he
    wore frequently in the eviction photographs. He
    was often recorded as he is seen here, sitting on a
    low boundary wall, acting as "judge and jury', in the
    summary sentencing of those who resisted eviction.
    He was remembered later with his hat rakishly riding
    forward on the bridge of his nose as he sentenced the
    evicted tenants on the spot”

    In response to a DMP strike?

    From a police circular

    “Union is Strength The men of this station are hereby invited to attend a monster meeting to be held in the Ball Alley Street (C Division) on Thursday 31st. Chair to be taken at 5 p.m. sharp. It is requested that all night men and all others off duty will attend this meeting for the purpose of taking into consideration the signing of the memorial and also for protesting against the threatening language used by Chief Superintendent Corr on last Saturday evening.
    We will take this opportunity of demonstrating (for Captain Talbot's information and guidance) that we are not reduced constables but constables whose characters are unimpeachable.
    Issued by authority of C Division'
    29/8/1882”
