| Information
-
The IRISH MAIL was an important
railway service, which apart from the obvious mail service, it also gave a
regular fast connection for the Irish M.P.'s when commuting to Parliament,
in London. All
Ireland was still part of Britain at this time. The ferry ran from
Dun Laoghaire (about 12 miles south of Dublin) to the Port of Holyhead. Anglesey is
in the background. |
