A great wee bit of history in this. Do you know whether they were successful in their attempt to get lower rents - or does the title of this mean they were evicted?

Vab2009 No other information yet, but would love to find out more information about the Plan of Campaign in the Mitchelstown area, the landlord(s) involved, and would die happy if anyone knows about the O'Sullivans in particular...

And two doors down is the local cop shop! There is a very good article on Wikipedia on the plan of campaign and it appears that the Tipperary and North Cork areas were deeply involved. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_of_Campaign The Plan of Campaign was a stratagem adopted in Ireland between 1886 and 1891, co-ordinated by Irish politicians for the benefit of tenant farmers, against mainly absentee and rack-rent landlords. It was launched to counter agricultural distress caused by the continual depression in prices of dairy products and cattle from the mid 1870s, which left many tenants in arrears with rent. Bad weather in 1885 and 1886 also caused crop failure, making it harder to pay rents. The Land War of the early 1880s was about to be renewed after evictions increased and outrages became widespread.

Welcome back Carol, hope that you had a very good time and are now fully recovered and raring to go??? Congrats on reaching the 1000th

Yes indeed congrats on reaching the 1000th-now to the next thousand items of interest from the past!

I'm afraid I'm no help here, I've scanned the crowd looking for similar shawls but few tartan and no faces that seem to resemble the other ladies. There is a brief reference to the market in the Galway Advertiser as in www.advertiser.ie/galway/article/35364 but not sure if it was the same photograph as that does not come up.

nice shot

If you went there today (especially as the schools are off) you'd probably find some kids drinking flagons and being sick.

I love the little group on the right! Such great details!! (but no bicycles! :( )

Swordscookie No help?! That's a brilliant link! If it wasn't this photo that the Galway Advertiser was describing, then it was one that's almost the same...

The link to the NLI version seems to be broke - it says the record does not exist

Architecture of Dublin Better late than never! I have fixed the link just now. I expect the work on the following photo will bring some of our researchers here today. I have never been quite happy with the date of Circa 1895?
