I have seen this guy doing his busking-comedy on Grafton St for years. He sails close to the wind and is bleedin' hilarious.

A new thumbnail map has been added to the top of each 'place' page. It let's you see at a glance the location of the place you are viewing.
Of course, a detailed Google map still appears at the bottom of each page. Just click the thumbnail to jump down to it.

Sligo has come on a lot.
It used to be a grey old place, but in recent times has managed to spruce itself up. A new boardwalk by the Garavogue river & some nascent pedestrianisation.
Happily Hargadon's Pub is open again too after a lengthy closure. So that's me satisfied anyway.

"We're as mad as hell, and we're not going to take it any more." Why? Because Milford is in tatters!
Many Irish towns and villages have had (very long overdue) refurbishments in the past few years. Milford is still waiting and the locals are becoming restless.
Milfordians. I am with you in spirit.

SOME 250 people marched through Milford, Co Donegal, yesterday before staging a protest inside Donegal County Council’s public service offices to protest at delays in town improvement works.

My favourite statues in Dublin. Inelegantly called the "Pricks on the Sticks", they are perfect for Thomas Street.
Colourful & intimidating. Like Easter Island statues on LSD.
They are sited directly opposite the National College of Art & Design. Thanks be to God, the powers-that-be didn't relocate that college (as onc...e threatened). How could artists be created anywhere except in a place as messy and as fun as The Liberties?

A few clips from a typical Saturday night on O'Connell St. Dublin.
The street is a lot more social than it was a few years ago. The redesign of the streetscape has certainly helped.
Old statues of burghers, patriots & assorted types, now stand on wide pavements with modern furniture.
Overall, it is a far more attractiv...e place to spend time then heretofore.
Of course, shenanigans still occur (hence the arrest of the guy in this film). Unfortunate for sure - tho' it is pretty common all over Ireland at the weekend.
LikePlace Ireland Another addition to the incidental series about places to worship in Ireland. The National Baha'i Centre is in a rather grand building near Mespil Road.

Is it just me or have a lot of people taken up running in the last couple of years?
Hardly a week goes by without some place in Ireland hosting its own Fun Run , Marathon or Iron Man event.
Last week, it was a 10KM Halloween nighttime run thru the demesne of Lough Key, Co.Roscommon.
About 150 people participated - each k...itted out with headlamps and emergency whistles. Your intrepid reporter was among them. I came in 54th. Not too bad.
The route meandered in pitch black through the woods, around by the lake, through some underground tunnels and then back to the visitor centre.
Wet, muddy but not scary.

Ballyclare, Co.Antrim ... "Smells like a pigsty. Tastes like peach ice cream." - according to Willie McCrae.
Definately our most bizarre comment so far.
