I am seeing reference to the Cat & Mouse Act of 1913? Explain please.

So who do we think Boater is? A sympathiser? A journo?

A lot of ladies in the audience, a female speaker and the word 'Excommunicated' on the bottom of the banner. No obvious Police or Army presence. Joan of Arc (1412–1431) was formally canonized as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church on 16 May 1920, but Her Feast day is 30 May.

Per the Indo: In fact, one has to go back as far as 1920 for the last time an Irish person had excommunication imposed on them. It happened during the War of Independence and was declared by Bishop Daniel Cohalan of Cork. Alarmed by the scale of the violence that had engulfed his diocese, he insisted "that anyone who organised or took part in an ambush or in kidnapping or otherwise shall be guilty of murder, or attempt at murder, shall incur by the very fact the censure of excommunication". A number of Republicans were subsequently excommunicated and it has been suggested that future Taoiseach Éamon de Valera was among those who suffered the censure.

We have seen those swan necked lights many times in central Dublin, I don't think we have seen one in Cork...

The "Blessed Joan of Arc was Excommunicated" certainly suggests the War of Independence/Civil War, and that this is an anti-Treaty meeting. Anti treaty feeling was stronger in Cork than Dublin.

Could it be after the burning of Macroom Castle?
