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...

Sometimes Flickr is amazing - with some dates, ie 'earlier than'

Great hairstyles 😁. The same the world over though as politics was serious business, men’s business then. It is a terrific image of those days. I don’t know any of them. It looks even more dated than 70s.

According to the newspapers, this convention was a huge deal, but was actually on Sunday 8th, not Monday 9th November. And it was in Glenties. From the Donegal News on 14 November 1970:

"Donegal reflects the feeling of the Country" – Minister tells Fianna Fail Convention "This area is used as a cockpit, and regarded as reflecting the feeling of the county. It is vital for all to think in terms of the country rather than the parish. The fate of the government is as stake". This was how the Minister for Lands, Mr. Sean Flanagan, put it to the Fianna Fail convention in Glenties on Sunday: the difference between their bye-election and the normal general election. Already the district had some taste of what was coming their way. There were three Ministers of the government and a parliamentary secretary on this Fianna Fail platform. And around the area were many leading figures of Fine Gael from various parts of the country shouting out their calls and claims at after-Mass meetings. The next few weeks will be difficult ones for the people of West and South Donegal and Leitrim, with so many prominent men trying to persuade them into their way of thinking, and voting.

Apparently the convention selected Gweedore doctor, 38-year-old Patrick Delap to stand for Fianna Fáil in the upcoming bye-election. The Donegal Democrat on 13 November 1970 listed those on the platform as... Brian Lenihan, T.D., Minister for Transport and Power Charlie Gallagher, chairman of the Dáil Ceantair (constituency council) Tom Brennan, secretary of the Dáil Ceantair J. Brennan, T.D., Minister for Labour and Social Welfare Mr Flanagan Liam Cunningham, T.D. Parliamentary Sec. to the Minister for Local Govt. Senator Bernard McGlinchey

And there were no female women in the audience at all, at all!

I think Dr. Delap was the brother of the late District Justice Seán Delap who used unconventional methods to sort out problems of disorderly behaviour. He would bind the culprit to call to the Garda Station at midnight sober
