Home Page > Media > 10th Gilbert Lecture The 10th Annual Sir John T. Gilbert Lecture'"Through streets broad and narrow": a history of Dublin’s trams' by Michael Corcoran Cannot see player? Download Flash.
On 23 January 2007 the tenth annual Sir John T. Gilbert Lecture was held at Dublin City Library and Archive, Pearse Street. The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Vincent Jackson, was chairman for the evening. City Librarian, Deirdre Ellis-King, welcomed the capacity audience and introduced the Lord Mayor. The tenth lecture was given by Michael Corcoran, retired staff member of Dublin City Council, and founding member of the National Transport Museum at Howth. Michael’s illustrated lecture, 'Through streets broad and narrow': a history of Dublin’s trams, was received with enthusiasm by the audience. His large range of slides and his entertaining delivery made it a memorable evening. Members of the audience shared many memories of Dublin trams. One former tramway worker, Jimmy Wylie, was present and he brought some wonderful staff photographs to show everyone. This lecture will be published by Dublin City Public Libraries before the end of the year. Councillor Jackson formally launched the newly published ninth Sir John T. Gilbert Lecture: Professor Andrew Carpenter's Mrs Harris, her pocket and her petition: some thoughts on Swift's Dublin Castle poems of 1699-1701. Details of Professor Andrew Carpenter's publication. |
