Via Trove, a Royal visit by the Prince and Princess of Wales in April 1885; Read All About It! - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/160739054?searchTerm=c... Edit - It was not all sweetness and light. This different report tells of protests after the Convamore visit - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/115465570?searchTerm=c...

For reasons not apparent from the surrounding text, which is the serialisation of a racy novel, but which are probably related to the royal visit, a picture of Convamore appeared on the front page of the Weely Irish Times in 1885
