I never voted for the fella’
Looks like a man who realised he left the immersion on
Don’t look at me. I voted for Dr. Jekyll.
Great tache
First president of Éire. The republic didn’t come into being until 1949.
Does he speak for the trees?
As he was a Church of Ireland member, his funeral was in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, so Roman Catholics were not allowed to attend a non RC service. Noel Browne was the only cabinet member who went inside whilst the rest stayed outside. Devalera did not attend either.
With a moustache like that, the man was born to lead nations.

This was the first president of the Irish republic.
Some soup strainer bais
He was one of the last speakers of the Roscommon dialect of Irish. One of the only recordings of the dialect that exists is of him taking his oath of inauguration.
Bro looks startled in every pic
Hup Roscommon
President of Ireland.
Was he not inaugurated on the 26th? [This page on president.ie](https://president.ie/en/media-library/speeches/inauguration-address-by-president-douglas-hyde) seems to indicate so.
