Honoured to be in attendance at the unveiling of the new RMS Leinster Memorial in @dlrcc . RMS Leinster was sunk by German submarine UB-123 on 10 October 1918, resulting in the greatest single loss of life in Irish maritime history, with at least 564 lives lost. @maritime_IRL – at Dublin City, Ireland
The memorial, delivered by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council in association with the RMS Leinster Memorial Committee and the National Maritime Museum of Ireland, records the names of all those who lost their lives in this devastating disaster.

The Romans never conquered Ireland, but they did have trade outposts there. Archaeologists at one, the site of Drumanagh, discovered a 2,000-year-old burned fig. Someone had brought it from a warmer clime—perhaps someone who missed the flavors of home. archaeology.org/issues/may-j…

Happy New Year! Malahide Castle awash in a light show for Wonderlights 2025. An amazing festive display. The 12th century castle was home to the Talbot family. Steeped in history it even served as a Royal Flying Corps Airbase for airships during the Great War. #HappyNewYear2026 – at Dublin City, Ireland

Curragh History@curraghhistory21 Dec 2025
In March 1855, construction of the first permanent Curragh Camp began, but a dependable clean water supply had to be secured first. Several wells were sunk around the camp, and two proved especially productive. These wells remain in use today, supplying water to the Curragh Camp.
