National Library of Ireland on The Commons No, but his farther’s job was National School Inspector.

‘On 26 June 1922, he was kidnapped by anti-treaty forces in reprisal for the arrest of anti-treaty officer, Leo Henderson; his kidnapping was a precipitating factor in the formal outbreak of the Irish Civil War, when government pro-treaty forces two days later attacked anti-treaty forces occupying the Four Courts.[1] O'Connell survived the fighting and spent the rest of the civil war as General Officer Commanding the Curragh Command.’

They had two children
O'Connell died on 19 February 1944, of a heart attack

The crude sign on the sideboard of the truck nearest seems to say Limerick but I am not familiar with the church. It is not unlike the Dominicans in Dominics Street but there is no steeple on that. It may be out in the county?

The other version of the same photograph in the catalogue has some more detail (more children) to the right, cropped in this print. - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000194370 National Library of Ireland on The Commons PS. Date typo! Unless you mean the 124th Ground hog day :)

On the OSI 25" there are two large blocks of buidlings listed as granaries facing on to the waterfront just downstream of the ferry crossing. Clear view of any boats coming upstream from Queenstown (Cobh) and control of the east side of the ferry crossing and plenty of space to billet troops. Modern day view on earth view show apartment block and carpark. If this is the place Morning Mary it is for the NLS folder.

In the NLI Fergus O'Conor collection There is a photo on page 5 Title Passage West -taken from a distance. It shows these granaries Like OSI 25" link. I cannot get it to link to that photo it wants to copy whole file.
