Imagine going to vote for the next President of Ireland and having the choice to vote for your own child?! That’s what Dr Aubrey Bourke had when he (presumably!) voted for daughter Mary Robinson 35 years ago! We have his polling card @uniofgalwayasc.bsky.social @uniofgalwaylib.bsky.social

This ogam inscription from Raffin (Co. Meath) has the code I-MEA-008. Since it has not been officially edited yet, we did not include it in Ogham in 3D yet (ogham.celt.dias.ie). The inscription is fragmentary and difficult to make any sense of.
