His portrait still hangs in Dublin Castle’s Portrait Gallery today. Some very entertaining letters survive to him from the Board of Works, admonishing him for his spending habits - effectively reminding him he was now viceroy of Ireland, not India! #History #Heritage #Empire #Ireland

On this #IndianIndependenceDay in particular, we would do well to remember, and to share with those who don't know, the many bonds of friendship between #Ireland and #India. A shared imperial history resulted in an unrivaled revolutionary kinship. We have more in common than differences. 🇮🇪🇮🇳🤝💚

Interested in digging into the Library’s collections? 📚 📆 Thursday, 14 August 11am: www.nli.ie/exhibitions-... Join us for this online session introducing the Library as a source for research.

In 1986 Ozzy Osborne played Avoneil Leisure Centre (surely a highpoint of his career). Thankfully Pastor Bill Dunn - who used to be in Them! - was there to save both Catholic *and* Protestant youth of Northern Ireland from Ozzy's devilish ways. How magnanimous of him.

Ozzy dropped out of school at 15 and turned to crime by age 17 and spent two months in prison. Afterwards Osbourne's father bought him a microphone, amplifier, and speakers. Ozzy advertised his wares at a music shop with an ad — “OZZY ZIG NEEDS GIG – Experienced front man owns own PA system."
