Thro' the magnifying glass Something a bit different from the Sean T. O'Ceallaigh Collection to start this week.  A headstone in the name of Dillon which looks dark and dreary but thanks to the benefits of "Supermegazoomability" we can read things a bit better than the late Uachtaráin.  The title says  "If you look thro' a magnifying glass you can see plainly the inscription "Gondeunad [?] Dia trócaireona" but you can make your own mind up on that!  Where is it and why would the Dillon family be of interest to the late President?
