    The lead car is registered in Dublin, pre-1937. The other two identifiable regs are local.

    Well, it's not Costello's visit, anyway. Too much rain and not enough bunting. Seems to be roughly contemporaneous though, judging by the collection of cars.

    oh as I don't have a clue I guess it might be a vintage car rally ? they are very popular - maybe it's a visit by politicians after the flood?

All politics are local

    The priest looks like Fr James McDyer, of Gleann Cholm Cille fame, a Glenties man.

    Radharc did a programme on Glenties Tidy Towns in 1962 including interview with the Parish Priest seen walking in the parade above. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQqekPeNPWY "The Tidy Towns competition established in Ireland in 1958 has proven to be a great initiative, bringing communities together and encouraging residents to look after their town and keep their locality tidy. Glenties in County Donegal is no stranger to the competition and has taken the crown for tidiest town in Ireland for three years in row. This story from Programme 2 of Radharc originally broadcast in 1962, shows what it takes to win and find out from Glenties residents what sets them apart from other towns in Ireland." Probably taken shortly before ...... www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/26256235108

    This photostream is going to hell in a handbasket! Should we be seeing these sorts of shenanigans? I'll have to get on to Joe Duffy about the lack of moral fibre... Signed, Outraged of Dublin 4
