I spent many a happy summer holiday in Sneem and sat outside Dan Murphys bar for hours as a kid. That stone was not there then. Shall dig out photos from attic I used to lean on the wondow sills. It probably took a crane to get the the stone there but definately wasnt there before 1972. That was the last time I visited for many years. When I did return in my thirties I was very bemused by the stone and believed it had been put there for the american tourists to sit on whilst waiting to use the public toilets that had been built for them. just alongside the pub.

There are many Dan Murphys bars in Ireland, but if you listen to the song it sings of a shop not a pub.

So the earlier posting about a bakery in Clare is more likely to be true than the rock in Sneem.

God BLESS
