The Neptune ironworks last big ship was the Lara completed for the Waterford Steamship Company in 1868, and with her sleek lines and powerful engines (200 HP), she reduced the passage time Liverpool to Waterford route from 30 hours to just over 18 hours. When launched she was one of the largest cattle boats afloat and gave her owners 40 years of consistent and fairly uneventful service before her sale for breaking up in 1908.

I think there's a reference on Page 3 of the Irish Times of Friday March the 12th 1897, but it's behind a paywall.

If that is Lord Chief Justice Sir Peter O'Brien (Baronet), later The Right Honourable The Lord O'Brien, 1st (and last) Baron O'Brien, that would explain the hoo-hah.

Have a look at Willie Redmond's last days at the Battle of Messines in a graphic novel (comic to you and me) from Creative Centenaries, that we've been featuring at our WWIreland exhibition. Willie was killed in June 1917. There seem to be a few photos of him in the Poole Collection dated March 1918. Perhaps they were earlier ones taken in the Poole Studio that were reproduced in March because John Redmond (Willie's brother) died in March 1918?

Carol Maddock Wikipedia has William Redmond (1886–1932) When his father died in March 1918, William Archer Redmond resigned his Tyrone seat and successfully defended his father's seat of Waterford at the subsequent by-election. Famously he campaigned in his army uniform and wearing a black armband. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000720859
