Last year, I posted on Sir Horace Plunkett, longtime President of Dublin C.C., MP, Senator, and a pioneer of the cooperative movement in Ireland, and on his role in hosting Capablanca when he visited Dublin in 1919 (drawing his individual game in the second simul).

The photo above is from an article Under attack: how the burning of co-operative creameries devastated rural Ireland, by Patrick Doyle, University of Manchester, published on the RTÉ website on May 18: an excellent article in a fascinating series that RTÉ has been running on the War of Independence and surrounding events.

Many thanks to Gerry MacElligott for the pointer.
