Leinster Leader 8th July 1882
Blessington Catholic Schools
On Friday a demonstration came off in Blessington. It having become known that the new school wanted materials for the building, one hundred and sixty farmers of the parish of Blackditches turned out their horses almost at a moments notice and each brought a load of stones from the magnificent granite quarries at Ballyknockan. The imposing cortege far extended beyond the whole length of the town and was accompanied from Ballyknockan by Rev. E. Rowan P.P. and Rev. Mr. Hickey C.C. who were enthusiastically cheered. The School Committee received the reverend gentlemen at the school.
Rev. Thomas Heffernan C.C. Mr. Patrick Driver P.L.G. Mr. Peter Melee and several other gentlemen were present and joined in the demonstration of applause and acclamation which greeted this noble band of farmers, showing in this practical way their appreciation of Catholic teaching.

Why would a Dublin and Belfast locomotive be hauling a tram around Terenure? It's a bit off their turf, isn't it?

The engine plaque seems to say someone (Rodgers?) and Son makers 1906/8.
