    The one holding the umbrella is Cosgrave. I hope that helps (i know it doesn't but I am feeling mischievousness).

    Are the two worker gents wearing clogs?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    ponehpony They are indeed! They may have been from Belgium or Holland. This factory (and large scale sugar beet processing in Ireland) was set up with help from a Belgian firm, Lippens.

    It was said that Cumman na nGaedheal were a party "who one wished would be open to ideas, until one saw the kind of ideas they were open to". ..no doubt a reference to the colour of some of their shirts. The 1932 general election was held the day after this photograph was taken with Fianna Fail taking 72 seats to Cumman na nGaedheal's 57. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_general_election,_1932

    The building was originally the home of Bishop John Power and was later used as a constabulary barracks and also used for a while by the newly formed Civic Guard after 1922. The Manor school, next door on the left, burnt down on the 11th February 1932.

    According to this the date should be 26th July at the earliest.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Sharon Corbet Well spotted Sharon!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    At first sight, I thought the Georgian doorways behind do not look fancy enough for this to be Merrion Street, but looking at Streetview, I think those buildings have been redeveloped, and the fancy Georgian doorays there now are fakes.

    Irish times has a piece about this visit on Wednesday 30th July, so perhaps the visit was on the 29th. National Library of Ireland on The Commons Mary can you get the full story from the IT archive?
  • DannyM8 said:
    Devoy had a big reputation as evidenced by the latter quote from [www.jamesdurney.com/john-devoy-forgotten-hero-unrepentant...] The Times of London, the voice of the British establishment, unwittingly saluted John Devoy by saying he was ‘the most bitter and persistent, as well as the most dangerous, enemy of this country which Ireland has produced since Wolfe Tone’.
