‘In the 1870s the hotel was purchased by Miss Eliza J. Hayes and thus became known as Hayes' Commercial and Family Hotel.[1] On 1 November 1884, a group of Irishmen gathered in the hotel billiard room to formulate a plan and establish an organisation to foster and preserve Ireland's unique games and athletic pastimes. And so was founded one of the world's greatest amateur associations, the GAA. The architects and founding members were Michael Cusack, Maurice Davin, Joseph Bracken, Thomas St George McCarthy, P.J. Ryan of Tipperary, John Wise-Power, and John McKay.[2] On 18 July 1974 the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association was also formed at hotel.’ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayes%27_Hotel

Looks like a pair of these tenders: www.steamtrainsireland.com/images/locomotives/186_2011.jpg Edit: It's actually one tender - there's a locker/trunk on each side of it.

And sure we'd better have the OSI: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,612029,658242,7,9

derangedlemur If we didn't have the OSI, I'd be getting concerned about you! :)

The sacks were rented? Didn’t realize this was done. Great photo!
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
plaisanter~ I didn't either, but they definitely all say "Hired Sacks"!

The chances are that the horses and carts were hired on a daily basis also. Each horse owner would have a cart or two and would be hired each day when a load needed to be shifted. Not too many of the companies held a "fleet" of horses and carts as it was much less trouble and cheaper to hire in. I remember goind down the docks in Limerick in the early 50's and seeing lines of them waiting their turrn to pick up loads from ships at the quays.

Swordscookie Ah, well I was just being lighthearted about the "fleet" but that is valuable information about the hiring, thanks!

My grand aunt worked mending the hired sacks for Dennys.. The women used to sit around on the floor or on a pile of sacks and repair the sacks. They used an x pattern stitch within a square pattern of stitches. And a huge needle. Dennys had a premises in O'Connell Street in Waterford
