    Going to have to take a "today" shot from the same spot!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Shay Murphy Excellent! Don't forget to let us see it - and watch out for low-flying buses... :)
  • Tammy said:
    I would like to see the today shot as well. I am thinking there might be a lot of changes, but not sure....keep me posted please!
  • Swordscookie said:
    Not sure what they were but they were hollow with holes across the top, as though they were vents for something below ground! I always like the monument and felt that the quote was a really powerful statement.

    From the shadows, it looks like there are two people there!

    Sorry sister, but you hat is funny. May the Lord forgive me... Do you take confessions?
  • Irish251 said:
    The "WZD" registration on the Ford Anglia dates from 1962/3 so that further confirms the likely date for the photo.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Irish251 Thanks, and have added Ford Anglia as a tag...

    “The Royal Irish Regiment with the Irish Republic flag at the Parnell Monument, O’Connell Street (NMI Collection)
    HE-EW-3801-004
    Irish Republic flag flying on the GPO, photograph taken from a Metropole Hotel window (NMI Collection)
    Probably the most famous flag of the 1916 Rising is the Irish Republic flag, with its white and orange lettering on a green field background. It was flown from the roof of the GPO on the Princes Street corner, while the tricolour flew from the Henry Street side. The flag survived the destruction of O’Connell Street, and was taken as a war souvenir by the Royal Irish Regiment. It ended up in the collection of King George of England, and was stored in the Imperial War Museum until 1966 when it was presented from the British to the Irish governments for the 50th Anniversary of the Rising. It is now in the care of the National Museum of Ireland”

    suckindeesel Thank you. So officers of the Royal Irish Regiment. Wonder if we can find names for more of them?

    [aside] I was surprised after all the photos around 1916, and after all the years of photos, that I hadn't come across this image before.

    Off topic, but I put it to you, M'Lud, that the top of O'Connell Street is at the bridge, and the Parnell Monument end is the bottom...
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Carol Maddock I'm afraid you are only about 40% right!
    I think for a Northsider the top is at the bridge, whereas for a Southsider (I believe you are one?) the top is at the Ambassador.
