The scene on Upper Church Street shortly after Kevin Barry’s arrest. A Dublin medical student, Barry was an Irish Volunteer who took part in an attack on a military truck outside a bakery on Church Street in which three British soldiers were killed in September 1920. He was captured at the scene, court-martialled and hanged in Mountjoy Jail on the morning of Monday, 1 November.
An image of crowds lining Upper O’Connell Street in Dublin in April 1963. The photograph was taken during a bus strike in the city and the crowds are seemingly waiting for alternative means of transportation home.
