Tattered Outlaws: We opened









Owners came, friends came (having painted walls in the tower while rain seeped down them), a mayor spoke. Dan and his son, Zach, wore linen suits.



We gave Caroline flowers to thank her for joining us on the journey. We had a big marquee and Irish music. There were queues of people to make it to the viewing platform. I had to breath deeply when I couldn't turn on the power and Dan couldn't turn on the power. But Zach saved the day with the rhetorical question: 'Shouldn't that be plugged in?'







And here's how it all began and ended up. Footage from our very first visit to Skerries and from the day of the opening.
