Suck Diesel Well spotted/remembered!

A quick look at marriage records suggests he didn't spell his name Donahue as in the catalogue.

Niall McAuley Tried with ogh?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons “Donahue is the Americanized version of Irish surname Donohoe, which, in turn, is an Anglicized version of the ancient Irish name "Donnchadh" (sometimes "Donncha")”

“Donoghue or O'Donoghue is an anglicised form of the Irish language surname Ó Donnchadha or Ó Donnchú”

So, a few alternatives to explore!

National Army armoured car at Henry Street
near Nelson’s Pillar during the Battle of Dublin
in late June/early July 1922.
Attached to the car is an effigy of anti-Treaty IRA leader
Rory O’Connor, reading derisively ‘Rory Boy’. The British
army gave thirteen of these rolls royce armoured cars to
the Provisional Government in early 1922. Impervious
to small-arms fire, they carried a Vickers machine gun
in a rotating turret. Soldiers named them after songs,
patriotic heroes or separatist victories. In the case of this
armoured car, the name ‘Customs House’ celebrates the
burning of that structure by the IRA’s Dublin Brigade in
May 1921, an operation many National Army officers
had participated in.

The ARR known as the The Customs House, named due to the IRA attack on the building during the War of Independence. The figure on top has a noose around its neck and bears a placard entitled “Rory Boy” after Rory O’Connor, an Irregular leader captured during the first few weeks fighting

Certainly, the Irregulars had nothing to match them. Crewed by three soldiers, with a top speed of 45mph and armed with a .303 Vickers machine gun on a rotating turret, the ARR’s played a vital part in the opening stages of the war, whether it was supporting infantry, providing generals with mobile-command centres, or spearheading frontal assaults.

These ARR’s included such notable examples as The Customs House (pictured above), from which General Seamus Hogan led the Dublin Guards on their assault on the village of Bruree during the Battle of Killmallock, or the Ex-Mutineer, captured from the Irregulars during the first week of fighting and which subsequently spearheaded the seaborne landings on the Irregular stronghold of Kerry.

The internet's full of this stuff - looks like it's a famous enough photo.

Seems to have been replaced with an Opel now: www.google.ie/maps/@53.3497326,-6.2607722,2a,75y,76.57h,9...

Thank you,..Respect,..Imagine,

Wonderful photo of a nations and a family's loss. I had never seen this before and it is very good. Interesting to see how they hall was laid out to cope with those who wished to pay their respects to the fallen leader.

I was reading about Michael Collins and it said the last known photograph of him was in Bandon before the ambush. Is this photograph in your collection?

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/reneemartin] It's not in our online catalogue, Renee, I'll ask about uncatalogued photos and let you know...

oh wow, thanks! I've just been reading coincidentally about Michael Collins recently and it is such an incredible history (incredible in the sense of cultural and historical relevance, not withstanding any political standpoints.) love this flickr, you do such a great job! I always check in every week
