Should it be of interest, Michael Barry will be giving a talk on the Spanish Armada to the Mt. Merrion Historical Society at 8pm next Thursday (4th December). He'll also be at Probus (Royal St. George Yacht Club, Dún Laoghaire ) at 11am Monday 8th but that one might not be open to the public.

Dries, you are absolutely right and I am wrong! But not entirely wrong. Wikipedia uses the term rage-baiting (or ragebaiting) and Merrion Webster shows it as rage-bait (or rage bait or ragebait).

Officials at the Department of Public Expenditure spotted the typo in the new sign displayed on Merrion Street over a month before it was installed in front of the department headquarters.
The sign included an incorrect spelling of ‘infrastructure’.

When first erected, the cathedral was in a fashionable district, but on a side street. By 1900, this was an area more associated with tenements and poverty. There was a plan to build a new cathedral in Merrion Sq, and the site was acquired but ground was unsuitable churcharchives.ie/document-of-...

Just readin there that Dublin doesn't have an official Cathedral... this was proposed for Merrion Square in the 30s... can't decide whether it's terrible, or actually pretty cool...
(Regardless, it would've been filthy immediately...)

Very happy with this cover for ‘Irish Culture and Partition, 1920-1955’, which features a detail from Evie Hone’s stained glass window 'Four Green Fields'. This window was originally shown at the New York's World Fair in 1939, but is now found in Government Buildings on Merrion Street

There's probably two dozen people in the Iona Institute, plus a couple of strange people abroad who send them cash. But they have an office on Merrion Square, four of them are in the studios all the time and at least three of them have national newspaper columns.
