My name is Eamon martin . I had a butcher shop at 55 Moore st where i traded for over 40 years. I will be remembered not for the value sold but as the "talking butcher" where i used to use an auto repeat tape recorder [do you remember them ?] those were great days 60s to early 90s . For a time i lived with family in sandymount and got the #3 bus outside Clary's . One evening i sat beside a very fit looking man and soon we had introduced ourselves and discovered we were of the same trade. He told me he was traveling out to visit a son in Australia and was so looking forward to it. Later i was shocked to learn he had passed away and i still remember the conversation we had on that bus heading home to sandymount.
I wonder have you any connection to the Eamon Martin with 1916 connections who lived in the rise mt merrion ? i lived in the same # house in the rise glasnevin so sometimes i got his post and he got mine.  My family came from Cartron Ros commen and Doon Offaly .
