“As far as you know” a (thus far un-named) communist from Limerick isn’t strong enough to contradict me on this one.
Facts and accuracy are critical on this forum, suppositions, personal opinions, dúirt bean liom and my brother heard it at the dogs stuff just ain’t gonna cut it. *

No mention of deportation in what was an fine, educational piece. The involvement with Luke Kelly introducing him to the crowd was worth the read alone. An interesting article.

Does anyone know what the exact name of this is? It’s black oak, about 100 yes old.
A sideboard or what?

The wonderful Edwina Guckian was regaling that half-wit Ray Darcy about the cultural uses of straw there earlier. Edwina has in excess of 100 suppliers of straw countywide as she’s embarking on a project making hats for strawboys and mummers.
She’s also replicating the old-style súgán chair and it was painful listening to Darcy trying to sound intelligent/ enthusiastic. He’s a woeful spoofer. Edwina was her customary self - high energy with machine-gun lines of patter. She’s a breath of fresh air that girl. No dancing today though……
