I wonder if the middle one is W. B. Yeats who is looking for a page in his notebook to write down a poem which has just popped into his head - 'The Fiddler of Dooney' (first published 1892) - youtu.be/J2yR_7-QOp4

Michael Collins was there, Account in Michael Collins' hand of his capture and detention in Sligo Gaol.

Suck Diesel said:
It held few prisoners by that time and was closed the following year
“The Gaol’s ‘panopticon’ or ‘all-seeing’ design centred around the Governor’s House, from which the cell block could be observed at all times. Both prisoner and guard were underconstant surveillance. The internal design was intended to allow for air circulation around
the buildings and its inmates, in order to avoid the spread of disease and sickness. There was separate accommodation for men, women, criminals, lunatics and children.
