Wheeling Through the Years

Bus Éireann is currently undertaking an Oral History Project in association with Ireland’s leading oral historians, Mac Conmara Heritage Consulting.

The image is a part of a recruitment campaign for Bus Éireann. The central focus is on a windowsill where two framed photographs are prominently displayed. The first photo shows a man in a suit and a young girl, standing in front of a Bus Éireann bus. The man is the grandfather of the girl; he has his arm around her. The second photo shows the same girl from the first photo, but now older, wearing a red Bus Éireann uniform jacket.
