These pages attempt to make better known the large part of Ireland
which is served by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company,
and while doing so to realise Shakespeare's words: "An honest tale
speeds best being plainly told." If they succeed in these
endeavours, they will satisfy the compiler. No inexorable route is
insisted upon, but no suggestion is stinted which may help the
tourist to enjoy fully the beautiful country he passes through -
and a beautiful country it truly is, be it approached from Athlone,
its north-western gate, by the Shannon, where, "In the quiet
watered land, the land of roses, Stands Saint Kieran's city fair,"
or from its south-western side, in the kingdom of Kerry, where the
ocean leans against the mountains, and the storm-swept peak of
Skellig Michael makes the most westerly citadel of Christ in the
Old World Everywhere within its broad borders, swift-rushing
rivers, mirror-like lakes, and mountains tiaraed in the skies,
delight the vision and gladden the heart. ...] Reprint of the
second edition of the guide to Ireland following the routes of the
Great Southern and Western Railway. Covers sights of Dublin,
Limerick, Cork, Waterford, Killarney, Galway and many more.
Originally released in 1902.

The dramatic true story of a brave young soldier who laid down his
life to save a comrade, and the struggle to identify his burial
place and repatriate his remains. On 15 September 1961, eighteen
year old Trooper Patrick Mullins was posted missing after a bloody
ambush of an Irish UN convoy in the Congo. During the fierce
gun-fight, Mullins was killed and his body taken as spoils of war
by the rebel militia. When Ireland finally ended its UN mission in
the Congo Tpr. Mullins' body remained buried in an unknown grave.
With the 50th anniversary of his death fast approaching, the
Mullins family remains caught in the terrible nightmare of
maintaining an empty grave at the foothills of the Galtee
Mountains. This fascinating book describes Mullins' story, the
struggle to find his body, and the difficulties in bringing it
home.
