Oh forgot to add in the destruction of Woodquay to build the horrendous Dublin corpo bunkers, Absolute fucking disgrace. :angry:

The boys in the hill of Tara falling asleep every year for 23 years while that giant fairy burnt the place to the ground.

Splitting the county with the lowest poplulation into two for the purposes of TD election and placing each half with other full counties, thus guaranteeing that there will be no representation from the county in the Dail.

What is the population of Leitrim?

Around 25,000.

Any county where you can’t drive from one end of it to the other without exiting it deserves everything it gets

SS Ernie O’Malley’s notebook only contained the names of the Volunteers of the West Kilkenny Brigade. Given their less than stellar performance in the Tan War I’ve always wondered whether it was really an accident that he didn’t destroy the notebook. Despite all that he had written about himself O’Malley remains one of the most shadowy figures of the era.
