What is recorded here

Someone at Killarney Town Hall in Killarney could have arrived ready to make a fierce speech and found their neighbour sitting beside them. The speech would still be fierce, but getting home afterwards might require a gentler choice of words.

Flat roof with parapet walls, rendered chimneystacks and pyramidal glazed skylight. Banded rusticated render walls at ground floor with render cornice string course above.
