#Celtic#TempleThursday: Dan Cronin writes in his “In the Shadow of the Paps, 2001” about Cathair Crobh Dearg, Co. #Kerry: “Druidic rituals were enacted at The City, up to the time when we were Christianized. It is possible that it was here at The City that the last stand of Irish paganism was made against the advancing forces of Christianity. In that far distant age this area was a great stronghold of pagan die-hards who flourished under The Paps at Cathair Crobh Dearg. …
To Cathair Crobh Dearg is left a legacy of a religious nature, unique and strange, to this day. Right down through the ages, through Druidism and Paganism and through many mutations of human searching, religious ceremonies have been enacted on this barren windswept site. This chain of events has remained vibrant and alive – one of our cherished last remaining links with those days long past.”

The #GOP was always the "Pro-military" party. (Remember the disgust they had for "draft dodger" Bill Clinton?)
Then, they elected a draft dodger in 2000, "#SwiftBoat'ed John #Kerry (winner of the Bronze Star for bravery) to re-elect Bush in 2004, went BACK to being pro-military by nominating war hero John #McCain in 2008, nominated another draft dodger (Mitt Romney) in 2012, and then #CaptainBoneSpurs (who ridiculed McCain) in 2016.
3 people dead in separate incidents on the roads in Ireland in 24 hours, while Gardaí, the Courts and other authorities shrug. Time to get real. #Kerry#Donegal#Tallaght
It’s good to see a warning for motorists who park on Inch Beach in Co. Kerry. High tide was at 5:15pm yesterday, and motorists were urged to remove their vehicles “in GOOD TIME”.
There were still a few hardy souls on the beach with their cars. Including one German registered Land Rover Defender that was parked right next to the “No cars beyond this point”.
