Decline of Pubs in Ireland and Cork

 

Pubs are closing everywhere mate. .. Couldn't say why exactly but I personally drink very little these days and if I did, it would be at home.  A corresponding map for the amount NEW off licenses would probably show an increase. 

How many cows in each county of Ireland?

From the link "

Following quota abolition, Irish dairy farmers went into expansion mode, increasing cow numbers to produce more milk.

The Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF) has looked at the dairy cow population and broken the numbers down county-by-county."

IRA organisational Map during 1921

My own reading of history is that the bloodshed was not necessary- we could be independent of the UK now without it. Easy to argue you say- well here I stand.  In that regard the old republican argument that those Irish who decry the Provo's but not the lads of 1916 don't hold with me. Twas all unnecessary. Pearse et al turned that wheel of rebellion one more time and we are still spinning.

Apparently a village or town comprised a company, a number of companies comprised a battalion, and a number of battalions formed a brigade. By July 1921, the IRA had roughly 65 brigades, 297 battalions with 155,550 volunteers.

Milk mate. Its fantastic.

Milk is big business in Ireland. (If memory serves me right one of the biggest milk companies in the world is one of these irish ones. Glanbia I think) .  I presume its still big business in 2020.

English dialects in Northern Ireland

In all honesty i have heard a good bit bout accents over the years and read some too and in all that time i have never heard of  "mid ulster english" or "south ulster english"  

New map of Belfast protestant/catholic populations.

Well not really.. Its just a teaser for what will be. What is new is that what you are looking at are the outlines of new Belfast. All that I've read so far is that these new divsions will give a nationalist majority in the council  chambers. Time will tell.
