Dessie O'Hare Carnlough Road Cabra Which house?

bobbyss · 2022-07-14 11:06:49

Have been reading about Dessie O'Hare-the Border Fox. The book says his kidnap victim was held at 232 Carnlough Road Cabra. Yet in a newspaper report at the time shows a photo of a cordoned off house numbered 260! Anyone from around the area who really knows?

Thanks. How do you know? Are you certain? The book by gene kerrigan says 232?

260 according to several articles in the Irish newspaper archive.
25 articles from 1987-1988 contain 260 + carnlough + cabra + grady
Whereas if you swap 260 for 232, the number is zero.

Because photos don't lie, unless they are doctored. Look at all the many photos (from various sources) from the time and compare 232 and 260 on Streetview.
