Shay Hurley took Dylan on a special tour through the most colourful laneway in Clonmel. They enjoyed brightly painted murals on the walls of East Lane--the same venue for the Clonmel Pride Art Exhibition on the 27th of August--and also spotted interesting items underfoot and carvings that are difficult to read.

Shay's special route up onto the Holy Year Cross should be mapped and shared. Sometimes he heads through the woods along the Dungarvan Road and then scales the mountain. His route comes out behind the cross, offering a beautiful vantage point of the cross and the town below.

People in Clonmel have seen Shay offer advice to visiting tourists. He recently helped an American who was on her knees inside the gateway of Peter and Paul's Church. She was spraying a well worn inscription with water, tying to read the text. She discovered the name of a long lost relative of hers from the early 1800s.
