You could go along on slaughter day and actually see the animals being stunned/killed, no-one ran you away, it
was all part of life in Dun Laoghaire!
Where PTSB has their car park in Dun Laoghaire - McKeown's kept their horse!
Dun Laoghaire was a great place to grow up, it was alive! All the mothers went shopping on a daily basis. If your mother baked cakes you would be sent to buy cracked eggs in Pay-n-Take, you got them cheaper. Mrs. de Valera shopped in this grocery.
Doyle's down near Neilands was another shop selling eggs, cheese, cooked meats etc. They usually had a couple of chairs for the use of shoppers while waiting for their orders to be made up.
