Clans and their hereditary links at the time of Henry 8th

I really have no clue what to say here other than click on it and have fun. This is supposedly based on the castles of the various clans around the country. With the colours linked to the origin of the clan. 

Percentage of Catholics in Ireland and Northern Ireland 1926

Don't know the origin of this map saw it on Politics.ie. I'm the process of creating a series of maps using a 1% grading for the religious make up of the island with a 32 county template. The 20% grade used here is somewhat frustrating but the reality is that the percentage of protestants in the Republic was never over 10% (at least after partition) so any maps used to represent this data need a very small grade but that means a lot more shades of colours are needed which is painful to produce.

Squirrels in Ireland

My american friends are always amazed at the delight i express if i see a squirrel in Ireland; squirrels being the most plentiful and visible animal in the US. Some of you will know that there is a bit of a squirrel war going on in Ireland (and Britian I think) at the moment between those who wish to see the native Red Squirrel survive and the new arrival - The grey. My advice? Catch Kill and Eat the grey. Apparently they're tasty.
