Tommy Drumm, Mick Hickey, Christy 'Sweets' Downes, Victory Parade, 26 September 1977
Given the haphazard nature of the celebrations in 1976 where hundreds of supporters tried to gatecrash the Mansion House, Dublin Corporation decided to organise an open-top bus for the Victory Parade. There was only one suitable vehicle in the country - a 1945 Bristol - that was supplied to the Corporation by the Transport Museum of Ireland.
This photograph is from the Dublin City Council Photographic Collection. This unique collection is an educational resource and provides a basis for original research on the history of Dublin in the second half of the twentieth century.
