Memorial Shrine to Gainor Crist (1950's).

Gainor Crist was the inspiration for the protagonist in 'The Ginger Man' by J.P. Dunleavy. An American who studied at Trinity College, Crist was part of the city's bohemian scene, and was a fixture in Dublin pubs (especially McDaids) along with Brendan Behan, Patrick Kavanagh and Flann O'Brien. Crist died in Gran Canaria in 1964. This miniature shrine was donated by Desmond MacNamara to Grogan's - the city's greatest boozer - in memory of Crist.
