In living colour: Irish Civil War brought to life in new colourised collection

Paddy Rigney takes aim from the roof of Dublin's Four Courts in a photo taken 100 years ago, during the early days of the Irish Civil War. The picture is one of a collection colourised by John O'Byrne.  

It's a job most children dream about but the subjects photographer John O’Byrne has been colouring for more than a year are contained within a historic book.

Mr O’Byrne has been colourising black and white photographs for a new book,  The Irish Civil War in Colour.
