Very sad to discover that @ClareCoCo are about to demolish the last upright mud house at Tullaroe near Querrin outside #Kilkee. Needless destruction of our built heritage @AnTaisce @IGSLimerick @DeptHousingIRL @CathalCroweTD @RoisinGarvey @DarraghOBrienTD @EamonRyan @pjmwaldron

@AlanEnglish9 Better value even on the National Lottery: Prize Payout 62.20% on All Cash scratch cards: lottery.ie/scratch-cards/…
Will the Gambling Bill currently crawling through the Oireachtas stop this sort of rip-off?

@AlanEnglish9 Caitríona Ní Chatháin and Colm Ó Móráin are listed at

but not quoted at

- by coincidence the only two candidates with Irish-language names.
Suomi
Bookies aren't always as well informed about political races as they are on ones featuring horses ... but by this (Boylesports) reckoning, neither of the top two frontrunners for Limerick mayor - including the now odds-on favourite - are among RTE's debate eight. Ludicrous
English
@AlanEnglish9 Even with two missing candidates, the total percentage implicit in these odds is over 169%, equivalent to a payout rate of 59.03%.
Much better value to found on the Grand National - Total SP only 137% this year: racingpost.com/results/32/ain…

@cheapsellotape @DIB_RIA @internetarchive There is a difference of opinion over his mother's first name: Mary in the DIB, Kate at ainm.ie.
The record of his baptism on 14 May 1854 supports the latter:

@MsFrugalone An X-DNA comparison between a descendant of the 8yo and a relative of his supposed "father" yielded a 49cM match.
But X-DNA does not pass from father to son! Clearly it went from father to daughter to grandson.
English
@MsFrugalone A 48yo wife in the 1911 census with 12 living children aged down to 8, 6 and 4 didn't initially raise any red flags.
The 8yo son went on to marry twice, with no father named on either cert.
