There is a comment from benstaunton 12 years ago - "This is my great grand father. He was from Kilkenny and came from a family who had several members involved in founding the socialist movement in Ireland. He was a friend and close associate of James Connolly."

Slum landlords, milk adulterators and food fakers could sleep easy. Irish Independent - Friday 21 February 1913:

NORTH CITY WARD ELECTION.
The election for Councillor, In the room of the late Mr. R. J. Union, to represest North City Ward in the Dublin Corporation took place yesterday, the result being declared last night as follows:

James Gately - 475
Joe O'Donerty (U.I.L.) - 434
Thos. J. Lyng (I.L.P.) - 54
Patrick M'Grene - 47

There were 11 spoiled votes. Mr. C. S. Campbell acted as Deputy Returning Officer and Mr. Gately, in moving a vote of thanks to him, said a Socialist had been started to split the vote.

So Mr Lyng was unsuccessful, unless his sole object in standing was to split the vote as Mr Gately suggested.

Townsville Central State School is a heritage-listed state school and former prison at 4-6 Warburton Street, North Ward, City of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built from 1877 to 1880 by J Rooney. It is also known as the former Townsville Gaol and Residence of the Police Inspector. In March 1869, four years after the settlement of Townsville, the first recognized school, the National School, was opened in a building that had been used as the Burdekin and Flinders Hospital on The Strand. The school began with 48 students with an average attendance for the year of 53. The school expanded in 1873 to include a girls' school for which a new building was erected in 1874 and an infant school was established in 1876 with its new building erected in 1879. In 1878 over 200 girls were attending the school. The school is located on Warburton Street at North Ward on a 3.405 ha flat site facing east at the foot of Castle Hill. The brick fence with iron balustrade to Warburton street is covered by a hedge and lined with mature shade trees. The gardens contain a variety of equipment, mature and ornamental trees, garden beds and seating areas. The site is bound to the south by a residential unit development on Gregory Street. A car park with entrance from Gregory Street, to the Dental Clinic adjacent to the west side of the quadrangle wall is fenced off from the school and sit adjacent to the hospital reserve.
