Mary Russell Revisits Butter Road on St.Brigid’s Day 2015

Arriving at Millstreet Railway Station on Sunday, 1st Feb. James O'Sullivan and I met with renowned writer supreme, Mary Russell who has travelled from Dublin to continue her impressive research of the Butter Road. James had superbly coordinated this visit and has arranged to assemble a number of very interesting Friends including Fr. Seán Tucker, Richard O'Regan and from Germany - Karen and Robert. Before embarking on our quite challenging walk on the old Butter Road route in the Claraghatlea and Aunagloor areas James outlined in excellent detail using Googlemaps the route that we would be taking.
