It was said that Cumman na nGaedheal were a party "who one wished would be open to ideas, until one saw the kind of ideas they were open to". ..no doubt a reference to the colour of some of their shirts. The 1932 general election was held the day after this photograph was taken with Fianna Fail taking 72 seats to Cumman na nGaedheal's 57. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_general_election,_1932

The building was originally the home of Bishop John Power and was later used as a constabulary barracks and also used for a while by the newly formed Civic Guard after 1922. The Manor school, next door on the left, burnt down on the 11th February 1932.

beachcomber australia Mulcahy is, I think, the only one I've head of, and the only one elected. But ten bucks says that the others have relations in the Dáil to this day.

Belton has a wiki page: Belton later provided a strong Catholic voice in an Irish nationalist context throughout his career. He was strongly anti-communist and he was a founder and leader of the Irish Christian Front. Supportive of Francisco Franco,[1] Belton however opposed Eoin O'Duffy taking an Irish Brigade to Spain, feeling that they would be needed in Ireland to counter domestic "political ills".

Niall McAuley Belton was a name that was elected many times.
Niall McAuley said:
Wikipedia pages on both Belton and Rice say they were elected in 1933, contrary to the irelandelection page and wiki's own election result page linked by the beachcomber above.

The middle building "News Office" seems to have been rebuilt in the style of the right hand building. Not immediately obvious on streetview - goo.gl/maps/FGzfowPMJe4PjmgR8
