A few weeks ago, I was listening to the Documentary On One on RTE about the Dingle Sturgeon and there was mention of the publican,
Mikey Long who was responsible for very many exhibits at the Natural History Museum. If anything unusual was caught and landed at Dingle, Mikey Long would pack it off to the Museum after rewarding the fisherman with a pint.
I then remembered the photograph taken in July.
For me, this is an example of an ideal plaque – recording details of someone whose renown would not have had a wide reach but who did improve the public good by his actions.
