I wrote about the weird creature called the Elemental that supposedly haunts Leap Castle.
And the young, literary Englishwoman who made it famous…

The first full census made in 1926 in the newly independent Ireland is being released online tomorrow (Saturday 18th April). Ahead of that my friend Professor Ciara Breathnach has written a wonderful and informative piece on the richness to be found in this census.
I, for one, will be diving in over the weekend to check up on where my ancestors were at in 1926

Excited to announce that my journal article on women printsellers in early nineteenth-century Dublin has been published in @eshsi_ie It explores the gendered dynamics of the family print shop and how labour was divided in these domestic and commercial spaces.

[Dr Rachel Murphy @rachelmurphy]

‘Orange Order sends letter of complaint to King Charles after he prayed with Pope Leo’.

It puzzles me how any Christian could object to participation in an act of Christian prayer.

Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine.

J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.

L’urgence est aujourd’hui que cesse la guerre à Gaza et que la population civile soit secourue.

La paix est possible.

Il faut immédiatement un cessez-le-feu, la libération de tous les otages et une aide humanitaire massive à la population de Gaza. Il faut aussi garantir la démilitarisation du Hamas, sécuriser et reconstruire Gaza. Il faut enfin bâtir l’État de Palestine, assurer sa viabilité et permettre qu’en acceptant sa démilitarisation et en reconnaissant pleinement Israël, il participe à la sécurité de tous au Proche-Orient.

Il n’y a pas d’alternative.

Les Français veulent la paix au Proche-Orient. Il nous appartient, à nous Français, avec les Israéliens, les Palestiniens, nos partenaires européens et internationaux, de démontrer que c’est possible.

À la lumi��re des engagements que le président de l’Autorité palestinienne a pris auprès de moi, je lui ai donc écrit ma détermination à avancer.

Confiance, clarté et engagement.

Nous gagnerons la paix.

Happy #MapMonday folks! 🗺️

This map of Ireland was published in Dublin, 1610. In the top right-hand corner, this map is titled: “Ortelius Improved or a New Map of Ireland showing the principal families of Irish and English extraction”.

@thechosenberg I would suggest the only surgery required is for the boyfriend who made the comment under this image - brain surgery.

Censuses of Ireland, 1813-91. Check out Virtual Treasury, Census Gleanings, to see our latest additions, which include some census extracts from - wait for it - 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 (small numbers, I'm afraid). A long way to go, but we are well above 40k names in VRTI now.

[Brian Gurrin @BrianGurrin]

Census of Ireland, 1871. One of the best so far. The Owens sisters, from Birdhill, Drumcondra, Co. Meath. I love their occupations. Click here and scroll down to the table to view: https://t.co/vZMJduDHPM @meathcoco

@ntap_seal @maggimooy @realDonaldTrump Maybe, but we need to get away from single-use. My parents bought metal straws for my children when they were small and they've been using them for about 10 years.

[Dr Rachel Murphy @rachelmurphy]

@maggimooy @realDonaldTrump Exactly - how about bamboo or metal ones that can be reused? I think some people may have to have plastic straws for medical reasons, but other than that there is no need for plastic.
