@DevlinMartina Those barriers were raised 88 years ago, in fairness, when the people voted to enact the constitution.

“The pale moon was rising above the green mountain,
The sun was declining beneath the blue sea;
When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain,
That stands in the beautiful Vale of Tralee.”

I play Irish ballad The Rose of Tralee.

@TheBusinessRTE My mates and I have been patrons of Peter’s since 1980…not bad, 45 of the nearly 50 years! Peter was a gentleman and always welcoming- but took no nonsense. A publican of the old school. Enda a worthy successor, and great family. Warmest wishes to them all.

We are winning the battle against cancer in Ireland. We have reduced the death rate of 9 out of 10 cancers over four decades (liver cancer is the exception). There will be more cases as our population ages but your odds of survival are greater than ever 👍

@FeargalORourke @CllrAengusOrour Very sorry to hear of Mary’s death, may she rest in peace. An outstanding politician and utterly decent human being, as I know well from interactions with her over the years. Condolences to all the family and in particular to @FeargalORourke, our @iiea chair
