A whole week to write an index to s book. There must be an easier way...

@eToro Depends what you regard as success...

@martylyricfm @RTElyricfm It's great that he's still in excellent spirits after overnighting in the Mater A and E

@Numac10 Thoroughly enjoyed the lightkeepers programme. The anecdotes were hilarious. Poor Tux is gone now but Frank and the O'Sullivans are still alive and kicking.

@fincass Agree he's one of the best, Fintan, but being statistically the best shot stopper doesn't necessarily mean he's the best keeper, as you know better than I do.

@moonshroom00 @gtlighthouses @IrishLights @FastnetLHouse Sinead, sorry, no good at Twitter! I'm a lighthouse historian, very interested in Jack O'Brien and the Kennedys and Gallaghers. Gouldingpeter at Gmail dot com

@BangorBoat You're lucky. I have wind constantly.

Are you in the Kinsale area this evening? Why not enjoy some #LighthouseHeritage with a talk from Gerard Butler. Gerard is 3rd generation Lighthouse Keeper & has a wealth of Lighthouse history.

@BangorBoat The one off Holywood was creamed by the Earl of Ulster paddle steamer in 1889. The bell has a much longer history apparently.https://t.co/vc1ojF9iPu

@BangorBoat That's a wonderful map and list. I have a similar map for 1836 but no list. Here's one possible omission - the light at Cultra? Ist ed OS map says LH, but not "in ruins".

@IrishLights Great article. Sloane suggested 10 years later that O'Reilly raised the distress flags due to 'lovesick madness,' which I take to mean he wanted to get off the rock to see his girlfriend. Any suggestions in the archives of this?

"A major nuclear power has attacked a neighbour country and is threatening reprisals of any other state that may come to its rescue. This is not only the greatest violation of international law, it's a violation of the basic principles of human coexistence," Josep Borrell

[Seán MacBrádaigh @SMacB]

Is it too much to ask for consistency in opposition to military manoeuvres off our coast? In 2020, 11 Nato states held military exercises within 80km of the Irish coast; In 2021 within 32km of Malin Head. There was no hysteria from those now fulminating over Russians 240km away.

@ceolgra Ann Marie, not great on Twitter! Researching for a book on the Calf Rock. Can you contact me gouldingpeter at gmail dot com?

@SouthernStarIRL Desperately ungrateful of him to refuse to wear a mask while his rescuers are all wearing theirs

[Peter Goulding @PeterGo42719294]

@Eamon_Timmins Confused. Why would the lightkeepers need a boat house? We're the tenders for ferrying personnel and goods not offered out to local contractors?

[Peter Goulding @PeterGo42719294]

@bpolly57 Legend has it the first lighthouse keeper on Loop Head was a man mamed Polly
