Abstract
At midday yesterday the President of Ireland proved himself a good mason. At least I thought so until I mentioned it to another spectator at the laying of the foundation stone of the new Abbey, and was told: ‘He’s not so good — he should have left the mortar rougher.’
Irish Times (Dublin), 4 Sept 1963, p. 8.
