Mullingar message 'on' a bottle

An 11-year-old boy recently found a bottle washed up on the Donegal coastline with links to Mullingar.

Shaun Ward from Kerrykeel discovered the bottle washed up on Portsalon beach.

The bottle which is green in colour, had the name 'C Corcoran Spirit Merchant, Mullingar' stamped on it.

The bottle appears to be quite old and Shaun is now trying to find out a little more about the history behind the unusual find.
