This morning was one of those days when we didn't see the castle for the trees, scrawny as they may be! It's so unusual to see a castle among the O'Dea images that we never noticed that
DEA appears repeatedly, it just passed us by like a train. Is this the traditional seat of the O'Deas? Is it still around? In 1958 it looked like it was ripe for knocking though we hope that that did not happen?
