    I hate to be pedantic but The Harcourt Station was NOT & is NOT in Rathmines. It is city centre of Dublin. The description is (totally) inaccurate I'm afraid! There is NO mention of Rathmines in your tags, so I think it's safe to deduce that Harcourt Street /Hatch Street is NOT in Rathmines!

    Who is responsible for the administration of the Photos uploaded on to FLICKR as in names, not a department on behalf of the 'National Archives' please???
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    ClickKen04 You're not being pedantic, you're perfectly correct! Have you never noticed that Flickr Maps leave a lot to be desired about locations, e.g. when I place photos on the National Library in Kildare Street, it insists on saying Ballsbridge, I think, even though that's a good mile away from Kildare Street... I've now changed Rathmines to the broader "Dublin". Sorry if "Rathmines" was disorienting...

    ClickKen04 My name is Carol. I manage the account, upload photos, etc. And we're not the National Archives of Ireland - this photostream is the National Library of Ireland on the Commons.

    They look like a mix from Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stooges! You have lots of Garda followers on here send them up to the Depot!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Snap! Chap on the left definitely has a look of Stan Laurel...
  • Débora said:

    The bust on the right might provide a clue, unless they are in the habit of moving busts around at Trinity College Library.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Michiel2005 I'd doubt that they do! Presuming this is Socrates?
  • Michiel2005 said:
    Possibly, but I suppose you have to visit TCL to be absolutely sure. Pictures of the Long Room are rare on the internet (as photography is not allowed there) and I don't remember it from my visit.
  • Swordscookie said:
    Tunney was very likely to visit the long room and would not have been out of place there at all at all!! Famously while training for his great battle against Jack Dempsey one of the great US boxing writers found him reading Shakespeare and wondered if it was just for effect? It wasn't! Tunney was intelligent, literate and very well read and more than just a bruiser. He has lots of relatives still in Ireland and they're no "daws" either!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie And from what I read about him in the Irish Independent reports of the visit, he was also very shy and quiet, hence not easy to interview for the newsmen who were far more used to very extrovert sportsmen...
