Although not on the 25'' map, M.C. spied this one under the arch of Christchurch Cathedral at Saint Michael's Hill in Dublin City.
It was at this precise spot in 1970 that as U.S.
President Richard Nixon was driven through Dublin in an open topped
limousine while standing erect and acknowledging the applause of the
citizens, the second of two eggs was thrown at him, causing his security
detail to quickly and unceremoniously haul him down into the sanctuary
of the back seat. Benchmarker had a somewhat restricted view of the
incident and will presently outline all in another website.
Below: The 'mark on Saint Michael's Hill.
Above: A view from Saint Michael's Hill down towards the Liffey with the 'mark at bottom right.
