‘The Dalkey Archive’, ‘The Third Policeman’ & ‘At Swim–Two-Birds’ all have references in the Dalkey landscape.
Sergeant Fottrell of the Dalkey Police puts forward the famous ‘Mollycule theory’. Mollycules were ‘as lively as twenty punky leprechauns doing a jig on the top of a flat tombstone’. He contends that the vigorous interaction of two solid bodies would result in an exchange of mollycules between the bodies…”you would be surprised at the number of people in country parts who are nearly half people and half bicycles”!
