Dáil Chamber silent and empty

    This space was an RDS lecture theater until 1922, so this must be 1922-39. From wikipedia: it was decided to hire the main RDS Lecture Theatre attached to Leinster House for use in December 1922 as a temporary Dáil chamber. The building was bought outright from the RDS in 1924.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The room is octagonal in shape and its original seating capacity was 700. Little alteration was needed to adapt it for parliamentary purposes - the floor was raised and the seating capacity reduced. This photo matches a modern one, so I think it is after the alterations. The DIA says "alts for use as Dail" were from 1925-29, so I think this is earliest 1925.

    The RTE stills library has some shots from 1969, no help. The flat wall with the pictures hung on it has been painted white by then, dark in this picture.

    I wonder what all the controls on that piece of furniture are for?

    how timely!- my best day at the Horse Show was the day the Leaving cert results came out --it was a Thursday; "Ladies Day"--and we phoned the school from a call box near the show rings-- we all got good news!

    This looks like so much fun. I noticed the hats right away. I wonder how much those behemoths weighed?
