    It may have been taken outside the courthouse in Ennis, with the houses of Steele's Terrace on the Gort Road in the background: www.google.ie/maps/@52.8479719,-8.9806017,3a,26.1y,341.94... We know Keogh was at a political meeting at Ennis courthouse, so perhaps this was taken on the same day: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000030981

Strikers during lockout, at Broken Hill, 1909, photographer unknown

    What an extraordinary image, hiding their identities I guess. "In 1908 BHP attempted to reduce wages on the expiration of an existing industrial agreement. In response the unions commenced a recruitment campaign and began agitation for increased wages. Following an agreement on conditions BHP closed its mines and announced that it would re-open 'after the Christmas period with rates reduced by 12.5 percent. The company eventually re-opened with non-union labour. In response the unions picketed the mine and battles with police ensued. The lockout lasted 20 weeks with many miners defecting from the union ranks." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Hill_Trades_Hall Picketers with an effigy of a 'hanged scab' - www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2009/04/20/2546761.htm#:~:te.... "The Great Lockout of 1909 was prologued in 1908 when the bosses decided through the voice of John Darling, Chairman of Directors of B.H.P. that wages must come down by 12.5 percent, i.e. from the minimum of 8/7½ to 7/6 per day." (added emphasis) www.solidarityforeverbook.com/cgi-bin/showchapter.pl?c=4 "During prolonged industrial struggles women bore the brunt of increasingly difficult household duties, exacerbated by food shortages and the lack of income. During the five-month 1909 Lockout, the first industrial dispute to take place in Broken Hill for sixteen years, women formed a Relief Committee to help those struggling to feed and clothe their families. The 'Big Strike' that lasted 18 months from 1919 to 1920 was an extremely trying period. Co-operative depots were established by the unions, supplying housewives with basic food such as bread, margarine, potatoes and onions. Many mothers saw their children suffer from malnutrition. Miscarriages due to poor diet and anxiety were common. The Big Strike was the last major strike that the women of Broken Hill had to endure. It was finally called off on 10 November 1920 after both the unions and mine managers agreed to the recommendations made by the President of the New South Wales Industrial Court, Justice Edmunds." www.womenaustralia.info/biogs/AWE4102b.htm
