An original stain-glass window was recently purchased by the Hugh Lane gallery. The small panel was part of a larger window in the League of Nations Building in Geneva, Switzerland

in 1925. The Work depicts a scene from Liam O’ Flaherty’s novel, Mr Gilhooley, showing a partially nude dancer, Nelly, outrageous at the time ! The window was to honour Irish literary

figures such as Yeats, O’Casey and Joyce.
