“I captured these images from Longford last night, as the International Space Station passed over. Each shot was a 30-second exposure. While I’m aware that they’re not technically perfect, I’m glad I finally had my s**t together while the sky was clear. Thought you might like to see them.”
Tell the world.

A flood of other [planning] applications were made between 2000 and 2005, most of which were applied for in the name of Flancare Clonmel Distribution Ltd. They included a four-storey 110 bedroom hotel with leisure centre and swimming pool (approved), drive-through restaurant (approved), car showrooms (approved), 11 industrial units (approved), crèche (approved), service station (approved) neighbourhood centre with six retail units (refused) and a 15,000 m2 gross anchor unit retail space with adjoining shops (refused).
And
One of the major issues with Gleann Riada is its location on marshy land, that was historically a flood plain.

The town is peculiarly referred to as ‘Prospect Wood.’ …Quite how the employees of Google Maps got the impression this town went by the name of a decade-old estate on the edge of the town is unknown at this stage.
Anyone?

And what about Mallow?

Have a look at Mallow. On the map it shows up as ‘Castlepark’ – which incidentally is just a 10 year old estate also.
Hmm.
