Transport
Gaels Shop
Surprised by joy - Impatient as the wind. I wished to share the transport - Oh! With whom But thee . . . Wordsworth Patrick Kavanagh said that no one could write a comprehensive account of Irish life who ignored the Gaelic Athletic Association. Likewise, any attempt to chronicle events of the last century would be far from complete if CIE was omitted. CIE as a semi-state body was founded in 1945. From 1950 it brought out an “in-house” magazine. LINK ran from 1950 and was replaced by NUACHT in the ‘sixties’. The last NUACHT rolled off the presses in 2003. Thanks to a few dedicated employees most of these publications have been rescued from the jaws of obscurity. If you worked for CIE and did anything newsworthy, from “missing a free” to acting as midwife on a crowded bus, there is a good chance that you are in there somewhere. If there was a picture of, or an article about, you or yours in any of these magazines now is your chance to re-capture the past.
