Overview
Shot in December 1902, this film shows a variety of Dublin residents in their Sunday best and was intended to attract people from the crowd to the cinematograph show to see themselves on screen.

The same John Conmee was rector at the Jesuit boarding school attended by the young James Joyce, and features in Joyce's Ulysses.
