Gay Byrne's Honorary Freedom of the City of Dublin awarded on 11 May 1999. It has a picture of the Late Late Show owl on the bottom.

Gay Byrne hosted RTÉ’s flagship talk show, the Late Late Show, for 37 years from its first broadcast in 1962. Byrne was a major catalyst in the transformation of Irish society, riffing on abortion, contraception and homosexuality. The Late Late Show featured an owl on its opening credits, hence the owl’s appearance on Byrne’s freedom of the city award. Byrne retired in 1999, but still pops up on Irish television.

Black and white photograph of a boy, Martin Long, and a horse, Babyface, as taken by Perry Ogden in the 1990s for ‘Pony Kids'.
Perry Ogden is an acclaimed English photographer with a studio on Capel Street. His Pony Kids show was an artistic event of note in the mid-1990s. There is a subculture of young working class horse owners in Dublin’s inner city and some of the city’s most deprived suburbs. Horses and ponies are ridden bareback, bought and sold in Smithfield Square on the first Sunday of every month.

A print of a black and white photograph of Sinéad O’Connor taken in 1995 with two Lock Hards by Bill Doyle.
Lock-hards were a fixture of Dublin life for decades. They would shout unsolicited parking advice, hoping for a fee. Peaked caps lent them a spurious air of authority. Sinéad O’Connor is an Irish singer who won fame with her cover of Prince’s ‘Nothing Compares 2U’. She has often been a figure of controversy, expressing strong views on organised religion and women’s rights, most famously tearing up a picture of Pope John Paul II on US television. A Dubliner is someone who loves to remind you that Sinead O’Connor once worked as a waitress in the Bad Ass Café.
