Denis Presents Wonderfully Historic Items to Museum

We extend sincere thanks to Denis Healy for three much appreciated items for Millstreet Museum - a Carbide Lamp (used on bikes in bygone days), a spent cartridge bullet from the famous "Aud" Ship which was so significant in the 1916 period (This is a hugely historic item) and a Primus which was in common use in homes at on picnics by the beach!
