Fifty-nine items from the 1766 religious census, Ireland's first census, survive. This return, for the Union of Abington, in east County Limerick, compiled by Revd Gilbert Rawson, and dated 9 April 1766, is one of the finest of these very rare survivors. virtualtreasury.ie/item/NAI-IHP-1…

The #Tipperary #Hurling Team outside #Clonmel Train Station, photographed #OnThisDay 26 August 1910. Spotted in the centre of the middle row is the famous #TomSemple, for whom #SempleStadium in #Thurles was named; catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000….

It was great to meet with Ambassador Gray @ambausire and others including my old school mate chair of @LmkCivicTrust Donal Creaton. An exhibition really worth seeing. I loved to see the 19th Century wrangling that went on to get funding for the school. Some things do not change! Safe home Ambassador.
