Timoleague Friary âą West Cork The origins of the Franciscan friary at Timoleague are somewhat uncertain, but it is traditionally believed to have been founded as early as 1240 by Donal Glas McCarthy, though it may have been established on an earlier foundation.

Gleninagh Castle âą The Burren âą County Clare This towerhouse was built by the OâLoughlins who called themselves the âPrinces of the Burrenâ. When it was originally rendered and whitewashed, it would have made a distinctive landmark on the grey rocky shore of the Burren.

The internet is something sometimes: my mother took this picture in 1988 and Instagram has just dropped it into my life again. The milkman's name was Eamonn and he was lovely. He picked up the extra bottles when she asked him to pose.

Catherine Connolly laughed so hard at an episode of Mrs Brown's Boys that she had to rewind it a few minutes "because she missed the next few jokes from laughing so hard". AND it was one of the later episodes.
