    What colour is that bus???
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley The greenest green ever seen!!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I remember the late 60s/early 70s, when the buses were cream over blue, like this one:

    Brennan's Bread

    but I don't remember any petrol green buses like that one!

    Niall McAuley Are you showing your age Niall? That was the good old CIE green we all grew up to love and admire! The two young lads in the pinstripe suit jackets is an interesting sight! Not likely to be school blazers as they tended to be solid colours but may be the remains of auld dacency in the form of Confirmation suits being worn out before they grew out if you know what I mean. Kids in 1959 could dress quite formally once they got to 14 or thereabouts. Portobello is just down the road from St. Mary's College and the lads may be from there but never with pin stripe blazers???

    Niall McAuley And yet there it is, larger than life and twice as green! I wonder is there any way it was a tour bus, rather than a "normal" city bus?

    Juffrouw Jo Certainly! As long you don't expect me to dress for dinner every evening...

    DannyM8 Knew that'd say "No dogs" before the power vested in me by Google Translate allowed the Chinese > English translation! :D Early regulations regarding rabies and a particularly virulent form of canine distemper precluded the transportation of dogs between Scotland and Ireland at this time, and that's why there're no dogs in this photo. Honest!
  • DannyM8 said:
    Honest!!!!!!!?? Enjoy your break, Bring us back a Parrot! (or a dog)

This is not Youghal, y'all!

    Is that man sitting on a suitcase, having missed the boat? If you view the largest size, there's some writing on the lifering (is that the proper term), that seems to end in "HAL". So, sould be Youghal. Maybe I'm imagining it.
  • Nick Stewart said:
    That is a fabulous image. Looks like grass growing up through the boards, which would suggest that its not used a lot? Wherever it is, I love it.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    That's a very distinctive church steeple, but I don't recognize it.
  • Woesinger said:
    Warren Fleury on Broadsheet.ie says it's "Looking across at Monkstown, Co. Cork from Verlome Dockyard, Carrigaloe." A quick look on Google Street View shows up the distinctive steeple, so I'd say Warren has the right of it.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Yes, here's a photo of the Sacred Heart church behind that row of seafront buildings in panoramio.
