    Via Peace and Nonviolence Ireland / INNATE who writes,
    "Not very exciting to look at on the surface, this bench remembering Louie Bennett and her partner Helen Chenevix is situated in the little nook or alcove of the Garden for the Blind in St Stephen's Green, Dublin. But maybe in providing a piece of rest and quiet - and thus service to passing humanity - it is a fitting tribute to these two remarkable women. Sit awhile and ponder... "

    A very nice Dog, a Labrador? I am not sure, then many breeds looked a lot different over 100 years ago. One thing for sure it does look a menace!

    " ... From the 1930s, Molony was in a relationship with doctor Eveleen O'Brien, with whom she lived until her 1967 death.[21][22]
    She retired from public life in 1946, but continued to work for women's labour rights; she died in Dublin on 29 January 1967 following a stroke.[23] Molony is buried in the republican plot at Glasnevin Cemetery."

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Yes, I also think she looks younger is today's photo than the Wikipedia one, which says "circa 1940s". And the hat and coat look circa 1920s -ish, maybe, possibly.

    What is written on the reverse, "Ewes" ? It could be the name of the dog.
