Arthur Henri Poole - Lord Lieutenant & Corporation

This is a terribly grand group at a ceremony at City Hall in Waterford. We now know that the "Lord Lieutenant and Lady Aberdeen visited Waterford yesterday for the purpose of presenting the Fagan Shield (the gift of Sir John Fagan) to the St. Dominick Industrial School, conducted by the Good Shepherd Nuns ... At the City Hall, an address from the Corporation to Lady Aberdeen was read..."..We've visited this room before, on Monday, 20 August 1928 ( nlireland/6061514031/ ) for a "civic welcome" to a Fr. Walsh. From the newspaper report below, it looks as if this was taken at Waterford City Hall...Thanks to ofarrl, we're already ahead of the posse on this photo. We know that that the tremendously titled Sergeant-at-Mace, John Harrison, is in this photo. John was unearthed by his great great grand niece (think that's right), Mrslulu1 in this 1903 photo ( nlireland/6259642511/ ) , alongside millionaire industrialist and library philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.....Date: Saturday, 7 November 1914..NLI Ref: POOLEWP 2570 ( vtls000593036 ) . .You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )
