We were in Sligo yesterday for an eye test. The clinic wanted to see how I progressed since the surgery. I was happy with the results but was informed that a new cataract is starting to form in my right eye. So, I guess in a few years I will be returning to Sligo for more surgery. :(
Sligo Townhall is a detached seven-bay two-storey Lombardo Romanesque palazzo-style town
hall, built c. 1865, returning nine-bays to south, with central
single-bay break-front, three-stage square-plan clock tower to
north-east. Extensively restored and rennovated, c. 1998 (Wikipedia)
To the right of Sligo Townhall stands a statue of Mr P. A. McHugh who was Mayor of Sligo in 1888, 1895, 1896, 1897, 1898 and 1900 and also a Member of Parliament for North Leitrim in 1892. McHugh died in 1909, with this fine statue being erected in his honour in 1916. (Wikipedia)
