  “Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit: touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately, in England at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever.”

  Suck Diesel and perhaps the same could be said today!

  Just one of the things the perennially busy Mac Liammóir was occupied with in 1953. From the Tipperary Star, 15 August 1953...
  

  SILVER JUBILEE
  On the 22nd August, Micheál Mac Liammóir returns to Galway to prepare for the production of his "Diarmaid agus Grainne" in the Taibhdhearch, on the occasion of that theatre's Silver Jubilee. An Taibhdhearch opened in September 1928, and its first production was "Diarmaid agus Grainne," which Mac Liammóir had completed the previous year. He began writing the play in 1925, and worked at it in Howth, Paris, Munich, and on a steamboat going up the Rhine from Mainz to Coblenz. He has made certain alterations in the script, deleting some passages and adding new material for the Jubilee production. The part of Diarmaid is taken by Padraig O Ceallaigh, a young army officer. The same part was taken in 1928 by Proinsias Mac Diarmada, who was then also in the Army, in the Irish-speaking Battalion. Treasa Nic Oirealla is taking the part of Grainne.

  
  P.S. who knew that we had an Irish-speaking Battalion back then?!

  Ouch...must have been a really hard landing to have an engine mount fail!
