Don't forget, the potato crop also failed in the Highlands of Scotlands, allowing absentee landowners to replace people by sheep.

I’m afraid the world needs to get used to an influx of American refugees. Not necessarily poor ones, mind you, but that might just possibly make it worse.

The Temple Bar used to be a bar. Last I was there was 1989.

What you saw was not the original.I thought it was a district? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Bar,_Dublin
The Book of Kells is an amazing thing. I was almost choking with emotion looking at it. To think that something so beautiful and fragile survived so many centuries so that we could enjoy it.

Temple Bar is the last place to visit. Tourists ..
Better is St. Michans across river, the vaults are amazing.
