Photo taken at Leperstown, near Dunmore East, Co. Waterford. 8th June 2017, seanmac999 Sean McGowan, Tells us that the young girl sitting on the right is his Mother Mary Flynn, he also gives some good background on the circumstances of the family at the time as follows: I recognise this photo, my mother is the child sitting bottom right!! Background is the local farmers refused to pay the De Valera government the rates previously paid as annuities to the UK due to the hardship imposed by the Economic War. Result was 9 local farmers were detained in Mountjoy on conspiracy charges before a Military Tribunal. Local farmers rallied around to harvest corn and dig potatoes for the imprisoned colleagues before their eventual release in October. Mrs Flynn had the next child in April 1934 so was in the early stages only!! Mother is Bridget Flynn, Francis standing on left, Philomena standing to right, Norbert sitting left and Mary Flynn (my mother) sitting on right (some head of hair - have a photo of my daughter as a small girl with the same hairstyle). Margaret is the child in Bridget's arms. Mary would have been 4 years old and it is interesting to see the hob-nailed boots on a child that age.
