    I think this gentleman might be Dick Lyng from Ballyanne in Wexford. More as we get it...

    Dick Lyng in the RTÉ archive, and again.

    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.

    From their website... From 1890 until 1980 the old Good Counsel College stood in the heart of New Ross. It was a small boarding school which catered for students from all parts of Ireland. Quite a bit of variation in the school uniform here. Some with ties, some without, and several different tie designs. Some with waistcoat, some without. And many with no uniform.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Thanks for the confirmation on New Ross! Wonder if it was an easy-going environment at this school - not such strict regulation of uniforms?
  • Peter Denton said:
    I love the informality of this group shot - and what's so noticeable is that the kids clearly had a terrific relationship with the staff: arms draped round each other, even two boys sitting on masters' shoulders. Looks like it was a fine school with a happy atmosphere.
  • heady school said:
    Not a cleric in sight. Wonder if that made the difference.

    Marvellous school shot. Instead of standing to attention in lines waiting for execution they are all relaxed and at ease. Wonderful memory for the lot of them.

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

    Two weeks later in Kilkenny -

    And in 1923 (previous year) in Waterford -
  • 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)
