All the children fully shod and two restaurants!
The RIC man sports the new cap, which limits the date range.
Looks circa 1900

Suck Diesel The street falling away behind them probably leads down to the sea so that might explain the restaurants but every child well shod is somewhat at odds with the other dress,

Many of the children are holding satchels. Perhaps a school outing? I seem to remember that the WR&S pics are all 1900 to 1905 or some similar range. There was never a railway, and we are before the motor bus, so the children are likely local? But there were passenger steamers running to Moville, the children could be from Derry on a trip.

I don't think they were there to protect him, more likely to harass, as this must be the radical campaigner for tenants rights. Very anti landlord, anti police.

I have found a ref to Dr H., active during the Land Wars. I found the Limerick Leader article in 1955 which shows a facsimile of this photo and refs it to the United Ireland magazine of 1890.
