These short blurbs were written for a panel installed in the Riverside Maxol station in Navan, County Meath, in 2023. Illustrated by the wonderful Derry Dillon, they celebrate Francis Beaufort’s contributions to cartography and meteorology, the Navan Carpet Factory, Pierce Brosnan’s early life, and the musical achievements of Gloria Smyth, amongst other tales.
