Great to see these pictures. Hope there´s some more from late 50´or 60´s.

As a fan of Joe Dolan I am viewing this posting and others of your town to get a sense of the place the Dolans call home.

Mary like yourself I'm a longstanding fan of the lovely Joe. Shortly after he died I bought his biography written by Ronan Casey, the son of Joe's manager Seamus. It's an excellent book and paints a very clear picture of Joe's childhood growing up in Mullingar and then right through to his passing. I would thoroughly recommend it. 🎉
