    7 June 1924 was a Saturday. No moustaches! Is this because of Civic Guards regulations, or fashion in 1924?

  • Rory Sherlock said:
    The sergeant seated to the right of the officer (from our viewpoint) and the Garda standing immediately behind the officers are wearing a shield-shaped pins on their uniforms - probably indicative of their membership of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association. Permission was given to PTTA members to wear their Pioneer Pin on their uniforms (according to message #8 in this link: irishconstabulary.com/the-civic-guard-t1554.html)

    beachcomber australia Rectors and curates, more likely. Heaslips generally are COI. There was a Jack Heaslip who was the curate in Malahide for a while, but he'd have been a generation later than this. Coincidentally, he was followed by a Mr Long (I can't remember his christian name). Edit: Kingsley Long - that was his name.

    Mind you, in 1911, all the Kilkenny Longs and the only two Kilkenny Heaslips were RC, so maybe they're priests after all.
  • John Spooner said:
    Narrowing the date very slightly, familysearch.org shows Jack John Heaslip marrying Eilis Long in the 4th quarter of 1952 in Thomastown registration district.

    Dick Lyng in the RTÉ archive, and again.
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Yep, it is. This photo appears in the Donegal News of Saturday, 17 April 1971. The caption says...
    Mr. Richie Lyng from New Ross, Co. Wexford, who won the Gael-Linn sponsored All-Ireland handball championship at Falcarragh on Easter Sunday.
    Strutting around here at Library Towers as that's people, well person, identified, and date established – Sunday, 11 April 1971.
