The Governor General was Tim Healy, who at least officially entered office on 6th December 1922. Sir John Simon was an English politician, whereas Lady Simon was a slavery abolitionist.

They seem to be checking the time of the sundial with their fob watches. Perhaps the sundial is new? O tempora O mores!

The Simons were regular visitors to Ireland it seems, especially around August/September. They seem to have been friends of Tim Healy's, and met with them in Dublin on a number of occasions, certainly in 1923 and 1926. 1923: archive.irishnewsarchive.com/Olive/APA/INA.Edu/SharedView... Sept 1923 with photo: archive.irishnewsarchive.com/Olive/APA/INA.Edu/SharedView...

I saw a documentary on Dan Breen over the weekend on TV4. Breen was involved in this ambush and was badly wounded. His views on killing were stark. see youtu.be/ty_U6U8iiTg

The ambush was at Ashtown crossroads near the Halway House (then Kellys), but the whole area has been rebuilt. Even the crossroads is a big roundabout now.

the Ambush was 19th December 1919. I would think this photo is dated very soon after that.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons You should do the date uploading system again, whereby a photo is uploaded on the date it was taken :)

I believe Capt. Ponsonby committed the Murder with the Poisoned Red Wine in the Library at 2:30pm, but that is my theory.. It was a posh killing so a young Hercule Poirot who was, conveniently, on holiday nearby, was able to solve the mystery without any publicity.
