It is best known as a "drying out" institution for drunks. It's in Dublin. It had a pretty raw reputation in its day, though I don't doubt it has been touched by the more humane Hazelden and Betty Ford systems if it still exists.

They also have a branch in Ballymote, Co. Sligo. I tiled the entrance hall and toilets there a few years ago. They served Great grub there.

I love this song. It is one of those that gets stuck in my head from time to time, but not in a bad way.

Why would they serve great grub in the toilets there?
Don't seem to see or care?
