He was so good at this he became known around the world as "Mr Cable". He was a key member of the first succesful team to lay a cable from Ventry to Newfoundland. On the return journey his extraordinary navigation skills inspired the company to search for a broken cable from an earlier unsuccessful attempt. He found it and where there had initially been one cable now there were two. He became a very wealthy man. He built Tinakilly House (now a hotel) and whilst he was building it he bought and lived in Leitrim Lodge.For viewings please contact our wicklow office on 0404 25565
