Oddly enough oneonetwo I remember one of those vans in EXACTLY that shade of Pink visiting Glasnevin every week selling...yes you`ve guessed it...."PINK Paraffin".

I`m not certain but It could have been operated by McMullan Brothers which I seem to recall eventually became Maxol..?
It also appears to predate the CIE Information Kiosk which was just to the North of the Pillar I think ?

Nice bustling air to the picture...especially without Dr Quirkeys !!
