Thank you for the info Germlin always interested to learn about local history. I did see a Pollock liveried Daf with the Gilbraith name on it a few years ago... now it all makes sense although it is kindof sad in a way. So many of the local hauliers that were common when i was a kid in the 80s...

Nice to see this old picture Gremlin. I hadn't heard of Gilmartin always knew them as Gilbraiths, when did the name change happen? I suppose Southern Ireland could be classed as abroad. Are Gilbraiths still operating now?
