I see this image at independent.ie captioned: Sean Lemass is carried shoulder high by supporters following his by-election victory in Dublin

Wikipedia says Hugh Kennedy of Cumann na nGaedheal was appointed Chief Justice, and Lemass won the ensuing bye-election.

Nothing useful to contribute. Just popping my head up to say I LOVE THIS PHOTOGRAPH! (Not often I take to ALL CAPS, but this one's worth it)

The elections was on the 18th- not sure when it was declared.

The archive record says the Photographer is Joseph Cashman, so Dad is presumably a Cashman who supported Sinn Fein around this time? Edit: Perhaps not. Per the archive entry, photographer Joseph Cashman was born in 1881 (Perhaps this Cork machinist of 1911 ), so his father would be latest 1861, and 63+ in the photo. None of these gents look 63 to me.

Wikipedia has this image on the Sean MacEntee article labelled "circa 1920s" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Se%C3%A1n_MacEntee

NPA PERS48 is another angle, same day

There are two undigitized images in the Poole catalogue (using spelling McEntee): POOLED 5196 POOLED 5195 dated 1917-18

Alright, I admit it; I too scribbled spectacles on pictures when I was four!

That's Kathleen Clarke sitting on the other side of the Long Fellow.

Roll up, roll up! For a limited time period, we're accepting bets/educated guesses as to whether this was taken after the June or after the September elections in 1927.

Great hairstyles 😁. The same the world over though as politics was serious business, men’s business then. It is a terrific image of those days. I don’t know any of them. It looks even more dated than 70s.

According to the newspapers, this convention was a huge deal, but was actually on Sunday 8th, not Monday 9th November. And it was in Glenties. From the Donegal News on 14 November 1970:

"Donegal reflects the feeling of the Country" – Minister tells Fianna Fail Convention "This area is used as a cockpit, and regarded as reflecting the feeling of the county. It is vital for all to think in terms of the country rather than the parish. The fate of the government is as stake". This was how the Minister for Lands, Mr. Sean Flanagan, put it to the Fianna Fail convention in Glenties on Sunday: the difference between their bye-election and the normal general election. Already the district had some taste of what was coming their way. There were three Ministers of the government and a parliamentary secretary on this Fianna Fail platform. And around the area were many leading figures of Fine Gael from various parts of the country shouting out their calls and claims at after-Mass meetings. The next few weeks will be difficult ones for the people of West and South Donegal and Leitrim, with so many prominent men trying to persuade them into their way of thinking, and voting.

Apparently the convention selected Gweedore doctor, 38-year-old Patrick Delap to stand for Fianna Fáil in the upcoming bye-election. The Donegal Democrat on 13 November 1970 listed those on the platform as... Brian Lenihan, T.D., Minister for Transport and Power Charlie Gallagher, chairman of the Dáil Ceantair (constituency council) Tom Brennan, secretary of the Dáil Ceantair J. Brennan, T.D., Minister for Labour and Social Welfare Mr Flanagan Liam Cunningham, T.D. Parliamentary Sec. to the Minister for Local Govt. Senator Bernard McGlinchey

And there were no female women in the audience at all, at all!

I think Dr. Delap was the brother of the late District Justice Seán Delap who used unconventional methods to sort out problems of disorderly behaviour. He would bind the culprit to call to the Garda Station at midnight sober
