Same (un-) bowler hatted fellow in L_IMP_2339 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000328560
And possibly he is the jarvey from 'Roche's Royal Hotel' seen in these subsequent Imperial plates -

“The name Guagán Barra comes from Saint Finnbarr (or Barra), who is said to have built a monastery on the island in the lake during the sixth century. The present ruins of a hermitage date from around 1700 when a priest called Denis O'Mahony retreated to the island.[2] During the times of the Penal Laws, Gougane Barra's remoteness meant that it became a popular place for the celebration of the Roman Catholic Mass.”

Here are Florence and Annie Nolan, the first single women working as Light Keepers that I can recall in the census. Florence is there in 1901, too, with little brother Patrick.

Rookie error! I got as far as looking up Florence's birth to see if she inherited the post, and spotted that Florence is male!

I can't find any rules about attacking the foreman maltster with a shovel. Southern Star (Skibbereen) - Saturday 24 February 1917

BTW Welsh whisky doesn't have an E, whether it's in English like the bottle on my shelf, or in Welsh - wisgi

Via Trove in 1888, from an article about "Irish Wit" -

... In Bandon the distillery of Messrs. Allman and Co. is known by the name "Al-co-Hall" ...

John Spooner The current P.J. O'Driscoll lives up the road from my parents house. Obviously a name they kept in the family. Every now and again his peacocks would visit our garden and he'd have to come collect them. We still have some tail feathers in a vase in the hall.
