Thousands of wellwishers turned out in Castlebar to welcome the Taoiseach
Mr CJ Haughey to the placeof his birth.
A plaque commemerating his birth place
"In this house was born an Taoiseach CJH on 16 th September 1925".
"On such a unique and special occasion if a person had to choose a
birthplace among all the towns of Ireland ,he could hardly do better
than chose the town of the Land League and the town in which the
Republic of Connacht was proclaimed in 1798"
The bucket is available on the way out.......
