Snail mail: Posted letter arrives 45 years later
Slightly discoloured with age but in good condition, the letter was sent from Dublin to Ennis on April 7, 1971.
Mary Kelly, who operates a stationery and card shop in O’Connell St, was rather surprised when a letter posted in Dublin 45 years ago dropped through Reidy, the former owner of the premises. Along with his wife, Agnes Henchy Reidy, he ran a newsagency business from the building. Mr Reidy died in 1977.
