W.D Hogan and friends at the Keany's house, Westbrook, Dundrum

Niall McAuley said:
Hogan was active in 1922, and this is 20 years later, so perhaps the gent on our right is more likely?

Niall McAuley Good point.

Niall McAuley said:
Perhaps at Westbrook Road off the Dundrum Road?

Niall McAuley said:
Keany is not a common name - the 1911 census shows only 3 people named Keany in County Dublin. Christopher Keany, 27, was an agricultural labourer, he and wife Alice are not a likely fit for this leafy suburb. I like Michael Keany, then 21, Electrical Engineer. He would be 52 in 1942.

Niall McAuley said:
That Michael Keany is from Sligo - there are 67 Keanys in the 1911 census in Sligo.

National Army armoured car at Henry Street
near Nelson’s Pillar during the Battle of Dublin
in late June/early July 1922.
Attached to the car is an effigy of anti-Treaty IRA leader
Rory O’Connor, reading derisively ‘Rory Boy’. The British
army gave thirteen of these rolls royce armoured cars to
the Provisional Government in early 1922. Impervious
to small-arms fire, they carried a Vickers machine gun
in a rotating turret. Soldiers named them after songs,
patriotic heroes or separatist victories. In the case of this
armoured car, the name ‘Customs House’ celebrates the
burning of that structure by the IRA’s Dublin Brigade in
May 1921, an operation many National Army officers
had participated in.

The ARR known as the The Customs House, named due to the IRA attack on the building during the War of Independence. The figure on top has a noose around its neck and bears a placard entitled “Rory Boy” after Rory O’Connor, an Irregular leader captured during the first few weeks fighting
Certainly, the Irregulars had nothing to match them. Crewed by three soldiers, with a top speed of 45mph and armed with a .303 Vickers machine gun on a rotating turret, the ARR’s played a vital part in the opening stages of the war, whether it was supporting infantry, providing generals with mobile-command centres, or spearheading frontal assaults.
These ARR’s included such notable examples as The Customs House (pictured above), from which General Seamus Hogan led the Dublin Guards on their assault on the village of Bruree during the Battle of Killmallock, or the Ex-Mutineer, captured from the Irregulars during the first week of fighting and which subsequently spearheaded the seaborne landings on the Irregular stronghold of Kerry.
