The IRRS Journal - Vol. 10, No. 59, October 1972 has a ten-page article "The Transplant Story" by Barry Carse dealing with both the A and C classes.

CIE published "Cuisle Na Tire", Vol 1 no 1 January 1945, the last one I have is May 1949 "CIE Weekly News" seems to have been running at the same time, Vol 3 No 2 is 11th June 1948, , vol 5 no 4 is August 27th 1948 and Vol 10 no 8 is 21st October 1949, how they got to Vol 16 on your scan of the Enterprise in 1950 suggests strange numbering! (I attach a scan of CIE Weekly News Vol 5 no 4, August 27th 1948 which states under the header... and issued as a supplement to CIE readers of Cuisle Na Tire.) "The Link" appeared in 1950?, I have 1952 issues Vol 3 no 1 January 4th, No 2 January 11th, No 3 January 18th "Nuacht" was launched in October 1960, I think it ran to around 2003? I'm fairy sure there are copies in the IRRS at Heuston.

And here it is !

Patrick..... a very useful L&LSR exploration guide is attached...

A very poor, and vague article, lots of errors... why oh why did the author or the editors of British railways Illustrated Magazine let this one through without somebody with the most basic knowledge check it first? Since when did Portrush become Port Rush?, "RPSI Tri-composite coach no 861 is associated with the NCC as it was used in departmental liveries of both CIE and UTA", what is that about?????????... now where are my blood pressure tablets!
