STATIONS of the CROSS
Some weeks ago an article in the Saturday Irish Times included a note that with the sale of University Hall in Hatch Street the contents of the Residence were to be auctioned. It noted that these included Stations of the Cross attributed to Evie Hone. These of course were those which had caused Father Colhouln such turmoil in St John's in the 1920s. After the Consistory Court hearing they had gone to a Church in Wexford and then had been given to the Jesuits for their Chapel in the Hall of Residence. It was felt that an attemt should be mde to regain them for St John's and on the Tuesday after the article appeared Nikki Benson, David O'Brien and John O'Reilly successfully bid for them. They are now back in Sandymount after a lapse of some sixty years.
