Description

Good morning all! Continuing the Irish Political Figures images, today we have women carrying placards at some unknown location in protest at the "reign of terror" in Ireland. Not a dog in sight and wet enough to be Dublin or London but where was it and who were they?

[/photos/scorbet/ Sharon.corbet] correctly notes that the label for this image has been 'swapped' for [ another].
