Following HibernoWay on Twitch - reading all 6 million English language pages of Wikipedia, one page at a time!!

Irish Central used this image (with credit!) in an article 'Waterford man who created St. Patrick's Day is now long forgotten' 10th March 2015.

The Friday, 15th June 2012 edition of the Irish Times (Dublin, Ireland) used a large version of this image of the Irish College in Rome accompanying an article on p. 6 Irish college suffers from unjust 'gay' reputation', says prelate.

May 23rd 2014 edition of Ireland's Own also used the picture in an article Ita Marguet explores the historic links between Ireland and the Pontifical Irish College. Ireland's Own also used a cropped version of the image of the gates of the College:
