As a descendant of Joshua Doyle (b. 1775, Dublin, Ireland), I have a strong interest in Irish culture and history, which is the primary focus of this site. I am a Network Engineer at The Computer Hut, LLC, which is my salaried job. I am a member of the Irish Cultural Society of Arkansas, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (2010-Present, President 2011-2017). I have also served on the City of Little Rock Arts+Culture Commission (2015-2020, Chairman 2017-2018) and the Walnut Valley Property Owners Association board (2015-2020, Secretary 2017-2020).

Good morning, Jim
My name is Ann Quinlan. I am native Irish from Co Meath (Boyne Valley) I live in Portland, Maine and am founder/owner (c. 1988) of Spiral Journeys, LLC a small land tour company focused exclusively on Ireland. I came across your blog this morning while doing some research on Brehon Law. I use some of this history when I offer my presentations on Hidden Ireland. All of this to say, if you ever wanted to put a group together for a land tour of Ireland I can arrange it for you. I offer a very broad spectrum on my homeland from ancient history, Megalithic to Solar energy. I just do the land portion and my groups are limited to 12 travelers (max 14) We stay in less traditional lodgings or Manor House Hotels…these tend to be off the main roads and offer land walking, bird/wildlife sanctuaries and more.
Kindest regards.

Dear Seamus. I am looking for a hi-res digital image of Sir Henry Lucius O’Brien for reproduction in a book on Henrietta Street, DUblin, Ireland, called The Best Address in Town, by Dr Melanie Hayes. I would be grateful for the source of the image you have. Regards, Charles

All of the photos I use are located on the internet, primarily Wikipedia, and are credited whenever possible. To be honest, I am not sure exactly where I found that photo. A Google search returns only one instance of that photo – the one on this site.

Absolutely! I have no copyright on any of this material. In fact, most is just a rehash of Wikipedia posts timed to appear on the anniversary date of the event. I look forward to checking out your blog! Best wishes, Liam, and stay safe!
