| Description | A view of the town hall (also known as John's Hall) in Birr, County Offaly, in August 1974. This building is now a heritage centre. The statue in the foreground is of William Parsons, the Third Earl of Rosse. This shot was taken for the RTÉ Television quiz programme 'Coast to Coast', first broadcast on 24 September 1974. The show involved two competitors in a virtual race around Ireland by means of a studio map. The winner received a cash prize and an Irish holiday. A brief article about the programme was published in the RTÉ Guide on 20 September 1974. | |
