Publication: Frontal and profile images published in A.C. Haddon and C.R. Browne, 1893, ‘The Ethnography of the Aran Islands, County Galway’, Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, Third Series, Vol. 2, pp.768-830, plate XXIII.8 & 9 with the following caption:
“Michael Dirrane, No. 1; Roger Dirrane, No. 2; Anthony Dirrane, No.3: all from Oghil.
Michael and Roger are brothers, and are by no means typical Aranites. There is an acknowledged foreign (? French) in their blood. Their relative Anthony is, on the other hand, quite typical.” [JD 9/4/2009]
