Peelers asked me whether I saw raiders during my fishing. I didn’t see anybody, I know nothing. Thankfully peelers let me go. #nsuirishhistory

I just got stopped by peelers on my way to Biddy’s pub. They asked me questions about a raid. #nsuirishhistory

[Brendan Murphy @Patrick22800449]

I heard there was a raid on British soldiers, supposedly by IRA, last night. They stole guns from British. So many army lorries and peelers pouring into the town. #nsuirishhistory

I caught even fish for today so I need to go back to docks anyway. #nsuirishhistory

Strange noises heard from the pier. I must check what it is. #nsuirishhistory

Yes!😃 Caught the first one. A heavy pollock, feels like 10 kg. I would sell him nicely. #nsuirishhistory

It’s cold out there on water, but night is clear, full of stars. #nsuirishhistory

[Brendan Murphy @Patrick22800449]

Preparing for night fishing. Checking for my fishing nests, fishing rod, whisky (for warm up 😊). Going to fish some pollocks this night. I feel that’s going to be a good catch. #nsuirishhistory

This bronze pendant is inspired by the Irish wolf. Know as Mac Tire (son of the land/countryside) in the Gaelic language, the wolf features prominently in Irish myth & legend. The pendant is available here https://t.co/z2WPiKhF37
