One can only imagine how delighted Seán Heuston, who (Wikipedia tells me) held the Mendicity Institute down the road for a number of days in 1916, would have been.

Ah now.

This morning/afternoon.

Institute of Technology, Sligo, County Sligo.

The launch of Project Ireland 2040.

Is that folder called Paddy Files?

The Just Opened London review of Nuala restaurant might have caused controversy if I didn’t like potatoes so much!

Quote: “The Irish will be pleased to see plenty of potatoes on the menu”

Will visit next month!

FIGHT!

Nuala (JustoOpenedLondon)

Update:

Hiya! That’s not a review but a news post, saying the restaurant has opened. Mmmm, potatoes.
