@GeorgeDillon@rtenews The Guinness symbol is literally a harp 🤣
In fact, Guinness had the original trademark on the harp, meaning the state had to point the harp in their official symbol in the opposite direction to avoid copyright infringement.
@GeorgeDillon@rtenews National symbol of Ireland is the harp.
Reason for this is high status of harpist in royal courts of kingdons in 12th-13th century.
Having lived in Ireland my entire life, i know exactly one person who plays the harp.
Is the symbol of the harp outdated? Do we need to change it?

@o_mcpartlin Adare-Rathkeale LEA in Co Limerick has highest vacancy rate in the country based on this metric it seems.
Could this be because the majority of houses in Rathkeale are owned by travellers who only use them for 2 months over Christmas, leaving them unoccupied for the rest of year?
@stats_feed Strange that Israel is below 100 considering Jews consistently have IQs 10+ points higher than average in the US, UK and other countries...
