Three Stooges link to Kilcullen
A picture with the famous comic trio, 'The Three Stooges', has a link to a Kilcullen family.
The photograph shows the three -- Mo, Larry and Curley -- with Leo Murray, in a fake robbery publicity stunt for Mr Murray's 'Lucky Cody' Irish Hospitals Sweepstake ticket agency. It was taken when the comedians visited Dublin in 1936.
Leo Murray was the father of the late Carmel Byrne, wife of Tom and mother of Alan, Howard (deceased), David (deceased), David, Marella and Catriona.
The Diary is grateful to David Byrne for providing this rare picture for publication.
