  White haired gentleman with the mustache in front looks like E. Walsh, the mayor in 1928-29. So the guy wearing the chain of office may be William Jones, mayor 1930-31. No, see notes below. That is Mr. Mercer, chairman, not the Mayor.

  The gentleman on top row, 2nd from left, with moustache, is Austin Farrell, General Manager and Secretary Waterford Harbour Commissioners. He was my great uncle.
