Another interesting photo, not a very clear image though.

Many thanks for the links. I think the second photo is of military, the RIC carried their arms in the manner of the Rifle Brigade, at 'the trail'. I'm open to correction on this should anyone demur.

I have to defer to your superior knowledge Peter as I am far from being an expert. There is another similar photo, again it is captioned R.I.C. Marching Through Cork City, and sadly there is not enough detail to be certain.

Thanks Paul. Waterford are misinformed again though, these are military, probably taken at the same time as your previous link.
