I always had a soft spot for Armagh as my Mam was born there and reared in Monaghan. Her mother, an Armagh woman wanted all the kids born in the North and raised in the South long before dual citizenship became a thing. In her eyes, if things turned sour, the kids would be safe - I’m not sure of the logic but anyway.
Both grandparents were dead before I was born and I always assumed the grandfather was another Nordie. Only last Sunday my Mam tells me he was actually from South Galway
