They say:
[this] is an update of an iconic John Hinde postcard photo, taken in the west of Ireland in the early 1960s. The reinvention of this image points at the transformation of Ireland from a poor backwater to the Celtic Tiger, and to its debt-ridden, yet resilient, current state. It also celebrates the obsession of today’s youth with shopping, brands, online-connectivity and non-stop music.

Ballytore, Co Kildare.
Via Vanishing Ireland
Kildare County Council have granted permission it seems to demolish a two-storey 18th century farm-house that stands at the entrance to the historic Quaker village of Ballitore (Ballytore) in County Kildare.
