He was a Teachta Dála (TD) from 1926 to 1927 and from 1932 to 1961. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Norton

Pre July 1943, when Senator Cummins died www.kildare.ie/ehistory/index.php/death-of-senator-cummins/

Cummins (tick), Norton (tick), Leinster Leader (tick). bingo!
Leinster Leader - Saturday 13 June 1931:

A declaration in the Leinster Leader of Saturday 14 January 1933 names Liam Cummins as the election agent and William Norton the candidate in the County Kildare constituency.

So without trying (yet) to find the agent-candidate combo for other elections, 1932 and 1933 are in the frame.

Hmm, seems the prospects of WWI conscription for cannon-fodder overshadowed the partition of Ireland.

Morning All! Apologies to the Three Marys. I'm being very bold, and sticking my oar in here - but this is only for when you've all finished your eccer on Joseph McGuinness... Our Director here at Library Towers, Sandra Collins, got a request for assistance from Switzerland to help the ETH-Bibliothek. (It's the largest public science and technology library in Switzerland and the main library of ETH Zurich.) They need help to identify locations of photos taken by one Björn Eric Lindroos in 1958. Björn was a keen fisherman, so obviously, he came to fish in Ireland. If any of you recognise the locations of these photos, then just fire your comments in here, and we'll pass them along! (There are good car shots too, for the non-piscine among you) Maybe just say which photo you're identifying using their DOI number (under each photo) so we don't end up confusing them? Or me! blogs.ethz.ch/crowdsourcing/2017/11/20/zum-fischen-nach-i...

Taken in 2091 - how did they manage that? Was Mr Figgis a Time Lord?

Darrell Edmund Figgis (Irish: Darghal Figes; 17 September 1882 – 27 October 1925) was an Irish writer, Sinn Féin activist and independent parliamentarian in the Irish Free State. The little that has been written about him has attempted to highlight how thoroughly his memory and works have been excised from Irish popular culture. From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrell_Figgis With a Homburg hat placed at a jaunty angle and sporting a perfectly trimmed ginger beard, in which he took inordinate pride, the impeccably dressed Darrell Figgis was a familiar sight in war-torn Dublin.

Possibly a Georgian doorway? Red brick to the left, a pillar, and a very worn step, not a new building at the time. But only a small step up from the street...
