Eamon de Valera arriving to unveil the Dick McKee memorial on 10th June 1951.
In 1918 he was released from prison and he returned to Ireland to become Commander of the Dublin Brigade of the Irish Volunteers.

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?
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
[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

Wikipedia offers the charming information that the Bremen landed on Greenly Island on April 13, 1928 after the first successful east - west crossing of the Atlantic by an aircraft. The first person to see the plane was Antoine Letemplier, when first sighted, he ran to his parents and shouted "Flying fish! Flying fish!"
