5 day headache due to the latest irresponsible media coverage. Could do with some assistance from colleagues to protect academics like myself who are dealing with sensitive history & face a backlash. Poor news coverage feels like a juggernaut coming at you on the pavement

@shirleyclerkin @FearghalRua Ireland has 300,000km of hedgerows compared with only 500,000km in all of Britain. We're very lucky to have them and it's our duty to protect them.

@DaraghCassidy @EXECUTIVESTEVE Are you suggesting that The Swan, a beautiful Georgian pub, and the buildings next to it be turned into a Weatherspoons?

I'm taking action to support the call for basking #sharks to be legally protected in Ireland. Will you join me by signing this petition? https://t.co/jMrE9nIrPi via @UpliftIRL

@FearghalRua Have you been lucky enough to see the Great Crested Grebe's mating dance?

[Kevin Mc Kenna @liminalitybites]

The ritual was abolished by a proclamation of the Lord Mayor in 1772.
"Irish Builder" 15 Jun 1877.
It was reinvented in the nineteenth century as "Riding the Fringes". This was a much reduced route and with much less pomp and ceremony.
"Freeman's Journal",17 Oct 1877.

With the easing of the 5k travel limit this week I decided that Riding the Franchises would be a good way of reclaiming the city. I may be the first person to have done this in nearly 250 years. #ridingthefranchises

This civic ritual, first mentioned in 1192, was performed every three years by the seventeenth century. The route taken (with minor alterations) tried to follow the one of 1603, recorded in the White Book of Dublin held at Dublin City Library and Archives.

Remembering in the convent sometimes gave a nod to practical, ever-present dangers too. The convent at Liège was a victim of fire in 1733 and here we see the nuns in the 1770s being asked to say a Hail Mary nightly 'that we may be preserved from fire'.

@irishhistory The arrival of the Cistercians in 1142, the thin end of the colonial wedge!
