A reader sends me this picture from Sailortown in the eighties when dancing priest Cornelius Horan was lending his 'support' to the annual blessing of pets and animals which takes place at St Joseph's.
Unfortunately, the same Fr Horan, then regarded as simply eccentric, went on to disrupt the Athens Olympic marathon and tried to storm a Formula 1 race before being charged with indecent assault.
It gets worse: Irish speaker Horan also danced for the children of one of our local Irish medium schools when he was "jigging his way round Ireland for peace".
