Orla Dwyer, in Dublin People, reports:
“A maypole that hasn’t been seen in Finglas for 175 years is returning this weekend at a fun-filled festival this weekend thanks to the dedication of a group of historical volunteers.
“The Finglas Maypole Festival has been planned for over two years, and the committee members feel 2019 is the perfect year for it to take place.”
