New Lidl store gives shoppers glimpse of Dublin’s past

New Lidl store gives shoppers glimpse of Dublin’s past
RTE

Shoppers at a new Lidl store in Dublin will get a unique insight into the city’s medieval past.

The remains of an 11th century house are clearly visible beneath a glass section of the floor of the store on Aungier Street in the city centre.

The sunken-floored structure was discovered during excavations of the site, close to Dublin Castle.

“It is a unique structure for Dublin,” said Paul Duffy from IAC Archaeology.

“I am sure it functioned as many things. As a house or as an extra space for the family.

Philadelphia Inquirer

Douglas Clayton fell in love with Msgr. Michael J. Doyle while directing an ambitious new documentary about him called Heart of Camden. The filmmaker has plenty of company: Tens of thousands of people in the city and beyond have embraced the Catholic priest and poet who has been Camden’s indefatigable champion for nearly half a century.

“I wanted to tell a story that inspires people to make a difference,” said Clayton, a producer (thefilmdoc.com) well as the director of the 42-minute documentary, for which he is seeking broadcast, screening, and streaming opportunities. “Father Doyle is an amazing person.”
