    The specific words "Laws Commissioners" do not get many hits, mostly to the Neutrality Laws Commissioners. They wrote a report for the UK Parliament in 1868.

    The inquest was held on the 27th October 1920, according to the Pall Mall Gazette of that day.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    An article on Father Dominic: Fr Dominic ministered to MacSwiney throughout his hunger strike in Brixton Prison and was present at his death on 25 October 1920.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The prison at Brixton still has a tall brick wall like the one seen at right, as in this Streetview. (Not suggesting that is the same spot).
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Previously on this channel:
    "Two unidentified Franciscan friars walking alongside a church carrying an umbrella" is Fathers Bibby and O'Connor
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Here they are outside the gate with some police officers.

    Wikipedia says 66 rebels were killed. This IT article from 2015 says "new research" says 58.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    This page lists 63 deaths and locations. I count 8 deaths in the GPO, and 4 in nearby streets.

    The same page has photos of some of the dead, and this isn't any of them unless it is a very young The O'Rahilly? No, definitely not

    It could be 7, 11, 14, 29, 32, 33, 39, 50 on that page.
  • Dubris said:
    How old would you say he is in the picture - late teens or early twenties?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Dubris Looks very much teens to me, but it could be an old picture of whoever as a teen.
  • derangedlemur said:
    We've seen a lot of airbrushed photos where the subject turns out to be 10 years older than they look. He could be anything from 18 to over 30. He doesn't seem to match any of the descriptions of children killed in Dublin during the rising, hence the 18 limit. He has quite a high forehead, so if you imagine a few wrinkles, late 20s or early 30s may not be so fanciful.
