Great find. I spoke to Sally this morning and she gave me permission to show this on our Aran Islands fan page on Facebook.

Terrance you are the chieftain of a handsome brood. Well done Grandad.
The cream on my coffee, the cherry on my cake, the apple of my
eye, the cheese on my cracker, the sugar in my bowl and the culmination of a life of hard work....... and they get to go home with their parents. Grrreeeeaaat!
many feel that grandparents are a particularly obnoxious lot, unable to do much of anything except talk about grandkids--until they become grandma/pa. open to all, this group is intended to be a spot where its normal to indulge in such behaviour.
See below, a recent case made news in the Sunday Times.
Blogger must pay €100,000 for libel
A blogger has agreed a €100,000 settlement after libelling Niall Ó Donnchú, a senior civil servant, and his girlfriend Laura Barnes. It is the first time i…
I see in the papers today that the Pope will be visiting England in 2010 but will not be visiting Ireland until 2012. If further enquiries are held into clerical sex abuse in other diocese over the coming year I imagine the Vatican will further post…
Call for Pope to visit Ireland and repent over abuse
By Fiachra O Cionnaith

THE Pope must come to Ireland and hear directly from those who have been abused if there is to be any possibility of reforming the institutio…

I thought I'd lighten the load for you financial types by sharing this joke with you:-
I was at a Christmas party the other day and too much drink was consumed. As is usual at these events we all get to say things we wouldn't dream of when sober.…
A few I heard today:-
We were so poor long ago that my mother couldn't afford a turkey at Christmas. She used go down to Moore Street and buy an octopus because everyone would have a leg.
It used to take 12 hours to cook the octopus because it kep…
Irish seisiun at Cruises in Co Clare.
I was in the Royal Air Force back in the '70 and have a huge interest in aviation. I've read about the tragedy(the worst in aviation history) and have visited the memorial at the Los Rodeos airport in Tenerife. With reference to the growth.... I'm c…
Well said Ninette!
In memory of Liam Clancy 1935 - 2009.
That was a very interesting piece. It's amazing how Archbishop Egan and our own Archbishop Martin are polar opposites. We are lucky to have Diarmuid Martin.
This link makes for interesting reading though it happened some time ago. Looks like they a…
Profile Information
- Tell us a little about yourself

- What's your Irish link?
- Irish born

- Reading, cooking, I'm an 'aircraft nut' and enjoy travel. Been to Italy recently and I was gobsmacked at their richness in architecture and art. Though I had read a lot about it over the years you can't beat visiting a place in person to get a sense of its history.

- Hi there - here it is: http://www.jamaica3.com/
You'll see his little flags pop up and a listing for "Tenerife" It is a little confusing at first, but he has some good pictures and a good story there. He is the boat next to us. He is the sweetest human you'll ever meet. 583 people died and he was one of the 64 that made it. He cries talking about it today. It must have been tough. He has cerebral palsy too, but somehow made it out of the plain. I think he crawled through the roof.

- That is terrible- you never hear of those things here. Is the crystal not being made at all or just not there? No pensions, how did they get away with that?
