    At Waterford Courthouse? 40 years earlier - Is that worth a virtual sticky hot cross bun?

    The President of the Union was Mr Thomas Kennedy (who made "a very long opening speech"). (Waterford Standard - Saturday 21 June 1941) I'm guessing the president would have a seat, and be in the middle of his row (with his hat on his knees).

    The wallpaper could have been changed for such an occassion, nearly as dreary as the moustaches!!!!!

    It looks like a scene from a musical, excellent.

    Christine Curtin And have you spotted the rather random cello/double bass perched up in the left hand corner?

    The man with the white beard could possibly be E.P. O'Kelly as he looks very similar to the photo in Paul Gorry's 'Baltinglass Chronicles'. He was the Wicklow MP in Redmond's Home Rule party. Does anyone know who's who in this photo

    A group of Redmondite volunteer Non Commissioned Officers in full regalia! I don't think I've seen anything like this before. All patriotic and well meaning and caught out by the Rising in 1916 and the decision of their leaders to support Britain in WW1 in the hope of gaining Home Rule by peaceful means. Many of them joined the war effort in Europe and lost their lives and many more changed over and took an active part in the war of independence. They are surprisingly well equipped with rifles, those are Lee-Enfield Mark II riflles the standard issue to the British Army at that time though they are sporting Boer War bandoliers.

    Swordscookie Thanks, Sean, for condensing 10 turbulent years of Irish history into a few lines, and for the techie information. I've tagged from what you've said. You say "surprisingly well equipped". The rifles may have been up to date, but I wonder how many of those rifles the Volunteers had - not just those that would be displayed for PR reasons in a photo like this?

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Of course. The chap near the pointy end better not move in a hurry or he'll be bleeding like a stuck pig!
