All lit up for a trip down memory lane

“In a way, I feel I have come home here to Loop Head.”

Taoiseach Enda Kenny yesterday reflected on his first visit to Loop Head lighthouse in west Clare where his grandfather, James McGinley served as light-keeper in the 1930s.

Mr Kenny’s uncle Joe McGinley — son of James and who was born in the lighthouse — was also making his first visit back to Loop Head lighthouse in 78 years.
