Waterford Crystal Joshua Tree on a wooden base awarded to Paul McGuinness along with the Freedom of the City of Dublin. 'Freedom of the City 18 March 2000 Paul McGuinness'

U2 and their manager, Paul McGuinness, were awarded the Freedom of Dublin in 2000. As part of the award, they each received one of these Waterford Crystal models of a Joshua Tree – a reference to the band’s seminal 1987 album. The models were so delicate that only Paul’s survived the journey home.

The wagon from the RTÉ children's television show 'Wanderly Wagon'

This model of the Wanderly Wagon was used for the flying scenes in the RTE children’s programme. (The wheels have been repaired with Lego.) Wanderly Wagon ran from 1967 until 1982, and it was a beloved part of many an Irish childhood. The central role of O’Brien was played by the legendary puppeteer Eugene Lambert, who travelled the country in his flying wagon. O’Brien was joined by characters such as the grumpy Fortycoats, the lovable Godmother (played by Nora O’Mahoney) a flying dog called Judge, and old Mr Crow, a rather sardonic and unlikable bird. Strange but true: Neil Jordan once wrote an episode of Wanderly Wagon.
