English: The Dublin hurling team look on, as a very happy Harry Boland smiles directly at the camera while Michael Collins shakes hands with a gentleman we thought was G.A.A. General Secretary Luke O'Toole. DannyM8 proved otherwise, and now thanks to guliolopez, we know this is Alderman James Nowlan (ex-GAA president and Sinn Féin rep of "Nowlan Park" fame).
Plus, great pen portrait of Alderman James Nowlan by his great grand nephew, davidnolanartist: "Hi my name is David Nowlan, Alderman James Nowlan was my Great Grand Uncle. He was born in Monasterevin, as he is listed in the local church as baptised, Cowpasture, Monasterevin, Co. Kildare in 25.5.1862. His father Patrick Nowlan an early member of the IRB and friend of James Stephens, was a cooper from Kilkenny city and who more than likely moved to work at Cassidy's whiskey monasterevin. A member of the Gaelic League, he was a lifelong supporter of the Irish language revival movement and a supporter of Sinn Féin from its foundation in 1905. In 1898 he was elected an alderman of Kilkenny Corporation, and used his time in the position to help promote the GAA, which having been set up 14 years prior was a relatively new organisation at the time. In 1900 he became the first chairman of the Leinster Council of the GAA. He was elected President of the national GAA at the 1901 Congress held in September of that year. He would hold that position for twenty years making him the longest serving president. During his time in office he attempted to steer the organisation on a more republican path." This photograph was taken on the day of the 1921 Leinster Hurling Final. Dublin beat Kilkenny, naturally, and the score was Dublin 4-4 : Kilkenny 1-5!
