This was the summer of 1976, fantastic weather. I was cycle touring in Kerry with the the Les Jeunes Cycling Club we managed to meet up with the Tour of Ireland in Kerry the followed it back to Limerick and Mullingar. Here is a picture I found of Tony Lally (IRL) beating a Spanard to the line for the stage finish into Mullingar. I think Pat McQuaid went on to win the overall that year.
