[edit] Craftsman Al O'Dea
He's mentioned in the article. He's also mentioned in a Dáil Debate: Senator Lydon already referred to the [1409] need to have cushion seats. I remember a time when one superb craftsman in Tuam, who is now out of business, called Al O'Dea, was supplying furniture to half the restaurants in the country. He did not supply padded seats, but what he supplied was elegant furniture of a high quality and a high standard. Somebody decided that it was a good idea to put cushions under people's backsides and, therefore, make it a regulation. and elswehere: Grant Taylor has been a professional woodworker since 1975. He studied in the United States with master woodcarver Art Ritchie of Keene, New Hampshire, and in Connemara, Ireland with furniture master Al O'Dea. Notable? Evertype 11:41, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
