Early this year NewsFour featured the story An Endeavour for Noel about the dedicated construction of a model ship by Ringsend man Seanie Raethorn in honour of his brother Noel’s dying wish. Tracy O’Brien who wrote the article bought the same model for her father but it was never built.
Her dad wanted to give Seanie his unbuilt ship as a gift but Seanie refused and selflessly offered to build the ship on the condition that it be displayed in the community for all to see. Joe Donnelly is pictured here with Seanie and the Endeavour which has pride of place close to the Good News Wall in the Fair Play Community Café on York Road in Ringsend.
