Rare.

Louie Bennett [1870-1956] helped to reorganise the IWWU after 1916. She was of the Irish Women’s Reform League and briefly edited the Irish Citizen in 1917. She was general secretary of the IWWU from 1918 until her retirement in 1955. In 1932 she became the first woman president of the ITUC.

This is apparently Dublin. Does anyone know the location and what they're celebrating? It might be the end of WWII.

I've looked through Corbis and the NLI and I haven't found it. For Capel St it looks a bit odd with the buildings crossing at the end and it's looks a bit wide for Capel St unless it's at the top. The kids are all pretty well dressed and all of them bar one have shoes.

I think it's Grey Stree off the end of Meath St. The houses have the little roundy windows in the side. Clint would know better. I only go over that side with a visa...

Here's a Dublin Piper and some Dublin Dancers. What's with the sword ?.

Pipe-Major of an Irish regiment (Poss. Royal Irish Rangers?) with two pipers/drummers, the sword goes with the job. Actually, I think the female dancers are from Queens University Belfast Officer Training Corps (OTC) I'm sure I remember them dancing at the Royal Tournament many years ago.
