    “…James established a mineral company at 54 to 56 Townsend
    Street, Dublin circa 1867. He was Protestant Nationalist in favour of Home Rule and a campaigner for
    Parnell. He was elected town councillor for the Trinity ward in 1883, deputy chairman of the Public
    Health Committee in 1888, High Sheriff in 1891 and Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1893. The unveiling of the
    Father Mathew statue sculpted Mary Redmond was one of his first public duties. Top sellers for the
    company in 1892 were Shanks Hop bitters and Shanks Orange Champagne. He was a JP for County
    Dublin and managing director of James Shanks and Co Ltd. He was a major shareholder, managing
    director and licensee of the Grand International Hotel at Bray. The licence was transferred to Frank
    Bethell in 1904. He was CEO of the International exhibition at Herbert Park in 1907. The company
    became Walter Brights Ltd circa 1909 and a winding up the business of J Shanks and Co was issued in
    1910..”

    John Spooner The current P.J. O'Driscoll lives up the road from my parents house. Obviously a name they kept in the family. Every now and again his peacocks would visit our garden and he'd have to come collect them. We still have some tail feathers in a vase in the hall.
