Codladh sámh duit Paul. A beautiful pic of a poignant tradition, thank you Frank. I met Paul Durcan a number of times over the years, all of them wonderfully memorable. He had some presence. I love his work agus tá grá don fear féin freisin. Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís. RIP.

🐶 Keep them close. Keep them safe. Dogs don’t see danger near cliffs—a lead could save their life. Stay alert and stay back from the edge. 📞 Call 112 or 999 and ask for the Coast Guard in an emergency. #ShoutForSafety #PetSafety #IrishCoastGuard
