oh the humanity

I got briefly lost this evening.

In Phoenix Park.

Eventually I found John's gaff, and it is indeed a nice spot.

clearing the books

The Hosiery Act of 1845 as well as the Adulteration of Coffee Act of 1718 are among 91 laws set to be expunged from the Statute Book because they are no longer required.

The Government today published the list which also includes the Servants Act of 1715, the Burning of Bricks (Dublin) Act 1770 and the Dangerous Performances Act which was brought in in 1897.

Laws relating to past historical events will also be purged, including the Dublin Reconstruction (Emergency Provisions) Act of 1916.

Really, I think this is just so we don't end up on one of those "In Dublin, it is illegal to wash your animals in the park after midnight" flongmails.
