| Description: | IRISH MAYOR SHOT. Alderman Thomas Mac Curtain, Lord Mayor of Cork, buried with full Sinn Fein Honours. Cork, Ireland. Various shots of the crowds in the streets - men, women and children shelter from the rain. There is a feeling of depression and poverty - there a few umbrellas, many of the women wear old fashioned scarves, they look into the camera with serious expressions. A shadow of a man can be seen standing in the back of a truck in the middle of the crowd, the helmets of the Garda can be seen over the heads of the people. | |
