1915- I doctored it up a bit for clearer viewing.....Who can spot the odd boy out in this?. The original picture was presented to my grand-uncle Frank Slater with a letter from Father Burbage thanking Frank for his financial support. Members of Carlow Fianna Éireann proudly pose alongside their symbol, the Golden Sunburst Flag ( mascot lying underneath ). With a broken glass topped wall behind the...m we see Christian Brother McKenna seated alongside the noted Republican priest Fr. Thomas Burbage and to the right Brother Foran, they are about to leave the school grounds in College Street and march to the sound of bagpipes and drums to the Cathedral to have the flag blessed. The movement was banned by the British authorities the following year.
