There's little information avaialble for this photograph but one would assume it was when TP McKenna would have been involved in the work of Cavan County Council. It appears to be on the steps of a hospital or a nursing home following some dedication ceremony, or such.
TP is visible in the centre of the shot with his walrus moustache and a rain coat on his arm along with his co-principals who are evidenlty a collection of the local great and good - the committee or 'comaty' as it would have been locally known.
The quality of the picture is very fine but the sharpest focus point has inadvertently fallen on the onlookers at the back of the crowd and in this enlargement we get a very clear view of a series of faces. Over a hundred years on they appear as alive and vivid as they were at the start of the 20th Century.
