"The DART train emerging from one of the tunnels on Bray Head on its way from Greystones to Dublin. This railway line was designed by the Isambard Kingdom Brunel, but because of the ongoing problems of coastal erosion, it came to be known as Brunel's Folly.
In Bray Station, at the north side of Bray Head, there is a mosaic portraying Brunel among a series of very attractive mosaics illustrating the history of the railway.
The Dublin to Wexford railway has been regarded by some as one of the world's great railway rides and is well worth taking, passing through spectacular coastal, woodland and river scenery."

ON THIS DAY: 23RD FEBRUARY 1976: Murder of Francis Rice by Shankill Butchers
Following on from our post on Friday night which discussed the vicious Shankill butchers (a loyalist gang connected with the UVF); a Catholic civilian Francis Rice, (24), was abducted, beaten, tortured and had his throat cut almost through to the spine. His torture and death was described as grotesque and obscene. His body was found near Mayo Street, Shankill, Belfast.
When the Butchers were finally brought to court, the presiding Judge deemed the whole affair to be the biggest murder trial in UK legal history, sentencing all the Butchers except the leader, Lenny Murphy, to a record 2000 plus years behind bars. Murphy was described as the 'Master Butcher', and a 'psychopath' who terrorized Catholics in the North.
