Shaw the "absentee landlord"
In a letter to the Urban Council of Carlow, Shaw declared himself to be an absentee landlord "having spent out of 88 years of my life, only one day in Carlow." At this time, he was trying to give his property back to the Carlow Urban District Council for them to use for "the common welfare".

Reverie
This is another painting by O'Meara of a girl waiting by water. This is not as mournful as The Widow shown earlier, but it is still melancholic. She seems to be waiting for someone. What do you think? This is probably O'Meara's most famous painting. It sold for £496,500 at an auction in London in May 1999.
