The Human Side of every Irish town

28 October 2015

matt_1 — Mary Lynch’s Bar, in The Downes on the main N4 road, was always a different type of place. Mary had a unique public house which was very popular with locals and travellers from the West of Ireland. She was known to leave her bar under the control of her customers every evening while she attended Mass at 6pm in Killucan. Every Christmas, she had a special Mass celebrated in the Camillians Monastery for the safety of her patrons returning home from her public house. She is photographed with one of her customers, Watt McNamee. The premises was sold following her death in 1999 and is now owned by John and Mary Moriarty. Photo taken in 1976
