Could he be the Dr W J Brennan of Dunmore East, who died suddenly "in the prime of life" in 1942? Keen on cricket, badminton and tennis. Left a widow and young family. "Behind a somewhat brusque and abrupt manner there was a generous heart" (Waterford Standard - Saturday 21 February 1942). I'm not sure the ages match up satisfactorily, unless "prime of life" includes being in his 50s. (Guessing Bertie is in his teens in the photo and born circa 1890).

CIvil death records show WIlliam Joseph Brennon, medical practitioner, of "Sunnyside", Dunmore East, died Feb 1942 aged 55. Therefore born 1887-ish, so would be 18ish at the time of the Poole photo.

CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY Hmm. Unlikely to be the doctor then, if he was born in Co Clare and came to Dunmore East via the British Army in Mesopotamia, and University in Cork and Edinburgh. PS The Musselburgh News reports him winning a Territorial Sports long jump competition in Edinburgh on 21st June 1912. Even if the Poole photo matches his time at Cork (18, just started his studies), the Tramore address doesn't fit.

Isn't that too late for the photographer to have been Arthur Henri himself?

When the marriage was announced in the Waterford Standard on Saturday 30 May 1931 the Cooper-Chadwick seniors' address was Waverley Drive, Bangor, and the Penroses lived at Seaville, Tramore.
