"A picture speaks a thousand words" but in this case its a video produced by Near TV, the Dublin community television production arm of the Near Media Co-op, for Culture Night 2012, which gives the viewer a walk-through the various rooms of Freemasons' Hall and explains some aspects of Freemasonry in what I think can be described as entertaining and informative by the "star" of the video, W.Bro. Morgan McCreadie, Assistant to the Grand Secretary.
