The centennial of the birth of Brian Ó Nualláin, or Flann O' Brien as he was better known, was celebrated on 5th October last, inside and outside The Palace Bar, in Fleet Street, in central Dublin.
Minister of Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht, Mr Jimmy Deenihan gave an unscripted, interesting, and entertaining speech before officially unveiling the bronze pavement installations depicting four great literary Irish figures: Patrick Kavanagh, Brendan Behan, Brian Ó Nualláin, and Con Houlihan. Jarlath Daly is the artist who produced the casts.
I'll photograph each of them presently and put them up - the installations I mean : )
