On the streets of Listowel
Today I’ve taken an unusual tack and I’ve photographed the various manhole covers in town. We walk on them everyday but did you realise there were so many different ones?

Walking on water?
This sign from Glendalough made it into a European book of indecipherable signs. I get what it means. Don’t you?

Amelia Wilmot, a blagger before the word was coined
Today in My Kerry Ancestors website, Kay Caball is blogging about a little known Listowel heroine. Amelia Wilmot, while working as a housekeeper in Abbeydorney R.I.C. Barracks in 1920 and 21 blagged information and passed it on the local IRA. She even managed to procure guns and ammunition.
Information about Amelia and other active volunteers is contained in recently digitized application forms for IRA service pensions. In order to qualify for the pension one had to give a detailed and verified account of one’s active service during those troubled times.
