“If you’re not in the mood to get right down to work, have a dozen deep shells with a pint of Guinness from our friend Paddy Burke” Thus, the entry in the visitors book of Paddy Burke’s, penned by a Mr Vickernan in April of 1959. That little book is crammed with the names of the famous, the titled, the infamous and the plain disreputable and it neatly distils over 30 years of the history of one of Ireland’s most famous hostelries.
