A biographical note and photo are available at: :
"Dick Meredith was appointed as GNRI Works Manager on January 1st 1926 following an earlier career with the Great Southern & Western Railway at Inchicore Works, Dublin under the famous railway engineer R.E.L.Maunsell.
"Meredith was a keen proponent of diesel engines and was the GNR official most clearly identified with the development of railcars and railbuses in the late 1920's and early 1930's. His enthusiasm for all things diesel did not endear him to contemporary railway fans. Indeed his contribution to the GNR has largely been ignored in publications dealing with the development of the company.
"The GNR buses produced at Dundalk were principally the creation of Dick Meredith and of course he jointly patented with George Howden the steel/pneumatic railbus tyre used on early GNRI railbuses.
"He was a quiet thoughtful man of great intellect who enjoyed travelling and fishing in the River Dee near Dundalk. He was appointed Chief Mechanical Engineer of the GNR in the early 1950's. Retirement came in 1957 when aged 65 and the break with all transport matters was absolute. He passed away at home in Dublin in December 1971." (extracted 14 June 2008).
