    This photograph appeared on page 3 of the Irish Independent on Thursday, 11 December 1924. Here's the line up:

    As with Cork photos, I can't let a Hogan image go past without a comment :) While the members of the commission likely had some positivity when this image was captured, within 12 months the commission would effectively collapse and become almost entirely redundant. As per the Wikipedia article which CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY links, things didn't start well - Stormont refused to send a rep outright - which is why Fisher was appointed by Whitehall. With a year, a draft of the commission's report would be leaked. This contained some unexpected recommendations. Leading to the resignation of some members. While the commission continued, the various governments came to their own agreement on the border - ignoring the commission's report. Which wasn't then made public for another 45 years. As such, the main "future strife" that was caused was less about what the commission did itself - rather what they (in effect) didn't manage to do....

    Carol Maddock This is same house on the Mall, Armagh. Note vent bottom left paving joints and boot scraper. It's a wonder it's not marked considering all the 'trouble'. www.google.ie/maps/@54.3488998,-6.6491373,3a,40.2y,34.66h... The other Hogan, while having the same date, was taken somewhere else? catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000218271
