A Listowel Lavatory Saga
Dave O’Sullivan was fascinated by Michael Guerin’s video account of the battle for the location of Listowel’s public toilet. So he did a bit of research on our behalf and he found that finding a spot for the convenience proved very inconvenient. Here are some old newspaper stories chronicling the story
This takes us up to 1968. The saga continues tomorrow.

The Book Tour
Vincent Carmody combined a family holiday with the launch of his latest book, Listowel, A Printer’s Legacy in Chicago and New York recently.
Here are a few photos of the very enjoyable and successful trip.

Remembering Dad
I got the following email from Anne Lodge.
Hello, I was just looking up my Dads hometown and came across you.
My dad was (RIP) Peter Muldowney and he grew up with his 7 siblings on O’Connells st ? Before he left for London in the late 50’s.
Would be lovely if you remembered them
Kind wishes
Anne x
Peter had left Listowel before I came to town but I know I have lots of readers from The Avenue. Any of you have any memories, stories or photos of Anne’s late dad?
