    Meath Chronicle article. The site was blessed by Very Rev P Dillon PP, Kill (acting for the Bishop of Meath, Most Rev Dr J Kyne).
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Maps seem to thing the townland in Meath is called Rathmolyon, and Rathmoylan is in Waterford.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Surely RathmOILan ? Or is that too crude! 26 August 1962 was a Sunday ...

    The car looks like it's O Dea's Austin Cambridge.

    Clontarf Bridge, Cork - over the south channel of the River Lee (not Brian Boru bridge on the north channel, though they're very similar): Streetview: www.google.ie/maps/@51.8976451,-8.4650496,3a,47.7y,3.6h,8... Edit: Streetview link not working for some reason

    Scherzer rolling lift bascule bridge, erected 1911. 197 feet long, four span (opening span of 62 feet) bridge resting on six concrete filled steel caissons having cast iron parapets. Bridge reconstructed in 1981, and no longer opening.

    Usage of the Cork City Railways lines reduced with the closure of the old CBSCR route in 1961; however, freight movements to Albert and Victoria Quays continued until 1976
  • Niall McAuley said:
    So the Cork, Bandon and South Coast Railway was closing in 1961, hence O'Dea's interest.

    Spelled Ballywillin on the 25". Not on the Sligo line, it is on the 1856 Inny Junction to Cavan line. Eiretrains linked above says The line lost its passenger service in 1947 but regular goods services survived until 1960, which is when O'Dea visited. The line was single track for the most part, but the 25" shows multiple tracks at the station platforms/goods shed.

    Flickr is sometimes amazing! In 2013 via 2c.., who includes this: "Local Lore holds that Micheal Collins the famous Irish patriot stole through this station countless times to meet his nearby love, while conducting the “little war” with his invisible army. Collins was reputed to be a regular visitor, albeit in secret to Ballwillan to visit his love in nearby Granard. ..." Confirmation required !

    Logainm says the name is from Béal Átha an Mhuilinn, Mill ford. There is a Corn Mill at the NE of the townland on the 6" and 25" map, gone today.
