      Hi Nigel !
      I pop up in lots of places… 🙂

      That’s a still image from an Irish TV series produced in 1966, called Insurrection.

      It played over a week, with daily mock news reports on the Rising “as it happened”.

      Trivia alert – on the wall to the right of the window, you can barely make out a lighter section of brick – that’s where they covered up a plaque to the rebel officer who died in the building, and was temporarily buried in the front garden.

      Cheers – Mick O’Farrell

      Hello Nigel
      I had it in a book – but seem have misplaced it – have a colour version somewhere…..
