That old photo of John Charles McQuaid (here) reminded me to finally upload a film my grandfather [Padraig O’Nuallain] made of the Archbishop & his entourage blessing a church in Palmerston [Dublin] in 1948: Thought it might interest you.

For tomorrow’s Allsop auction.
The first sale of an unfinished estate.
Three houses in Ballyjamesduff, miles from any ameneties with planning permission for 31 more houses. Cavan is 20km away and Dublin is approximately 93km to the south-east. Reserve: 40k.
The property comprises one detached house and two semi-detached houses each arranged over ground and first floors beneath a pitched roof. Externally each house benefits from a garden and off-street parking. There are 4 acres of land adjacent to the houses to be offered with the benefit of planning permission for 31 town houses.
As bottle openers go, this free-standing chrome-plated brass thing is fairly bulky but, once in position, an effortless pull or push in any direction pops the cap.
The manufacturer calls it the Top Gear, presumably imagining that its operation mirrors the shifting into fifth of a gear stick.
It also imagines you’ll pay ¥12,600 (€118) for one of the 100 limited edition pieces.
Says it all, really.
