    Hi I attended 2 introductions to this machine in December 2023 and again last night 26th Feb 2024 . I worked on a project today and looks like it is not possible to use this machine at the moment as staff in Coolock are not trained to oversee its use as yet. Th training we had last night was very comprehensive but it now looks like the earliest I can complete my project is the 25th March 2024 at the next makers Monday , so 1 month away. Any possibility to improve on this? It is a great machine and pity it cannot be used at the moment. Thanks

    Thanks for getting in touch Peter. Good to hear you are enjoying the Makers Mondays and the lasercutter. We understand you are keen to complete your project, and apologise for the wait. We are working to increase usage of the Makerspace while complying with health and safety guidelines. I have passed your feedback on to the Makerspace coordinator who is organising training soon. Thanks for your patience.

    When the Broadstone station closed to passengers in 1937, the engine shed and works continued to maintain locomotives, becoming the sole depot for steam locos in the late1950s. With the withdrawal of steam locomotives finally in the early 60s, the works became fully devoted to road vehicles, buses and trucks.

    I see small parallels in ancient Rome, ancient Egypt and ancient China in longetvity....when rulers are, or become, worshiped as gods or godlike. Once the " godliness or divine right" slips away.... I see a change, if not demise of the civilization or culture.

    No one seems to have asked, or nontheless answered the question,"Why did the British attempt for so long to maintain their rule over a country where the natives were fiercely nationalistic, had a strong national identity, and were certain that they were not British and had no desire to become British? To me it sounds like self-destructive behavior on the Brits part.

    The Drimnagh tumulus was also known as 'Gun Hill'. An account of the archaeological excavation of the site can be found in The Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland.

    As an Australian who has lived in New Zealand (resident of the 'Commonwealth') for the past 20years and seeing the impact of colonisation on these two countries, this (the dismissal of 'celts' as an identifier for a group of people living in or across regions) does smell similar as to the justification for colonisation that Britian had for invading Australia & New Zealand... The inability to concieve that people could associate themselves together through whatever distinctives they chose, while also having vast difference (subtribes) with many many different dialects, no perceived governing structure (to the British assumption), oral lore and tradition, a far more indigenous/nomadic, tribal and communal way of life... all totally discredited and in the case of the First Nations people (Aboriginals) in Australia therefore declared by the British 'to not exist and therefore 'terra nullius'.... meaning “land belonging to no one”, which has been interpreted as a complete absence of people and additionally the absence of “civilised” people capable of land ownership. I realise an arguing point to my statement above is that there is no archaeological evidence which I'm happy to have explained to me further but to dismiss 'myth' or set about to 'debunk' it is the air of colonisation I am speaking too... oral lore and tradition needs to not be discredited, lending itself justification for 'British rule'.

    Was the concept of 'celts' something that emerged to unite those who converted to Christiantiy through the 'evangelising' of Patrick, Aiden etc as they moved across the Islands and among the different communities? A way of identifying themselves much like early 'Christians' distinguished themselves from Judaism?

    The Brunswick street action was much more complicated than can be imagined. The initial grenade attack was on Brunswick street police station apparently to lure out Auxiliaries to an ambush in reprisal for the executions that morning. An IRA man was injured and taken to the Adelaide hospital. A cleaner heard the matron report his injuries to the authorities, she contacted the IRA who sprung him from hospital before he could be arrested. It seems strange that an ambush was set up in the vicinity of a meeting in 144 unless they were assembled for a major action. The Auxiliaries responded very quickly and the armoured car charged the ambushers. Charles Quale in his witness statement says he found information in the Castle revealing Frazer and Fitzgerald (of Capel street) as spies. He says both were shot as a result of his discovery. Leo Fitzgerald was the only Fitzgerald shot in Dublin, Leslie Frazer was shot in a pub near Capel street which could be confusion for Frazier's address. Ormond Winter says that an IRA officer who was giving information was killed in the raid. This cannot describe Clarke. Was Leo Fitzgerald a traitor eliminated in the heat of battle. On the exhumation and reinterment at Glasnevin I wonder what happened the body of the Black & Tan William Mitchell hanged for murder on 7th June 1921 along with two IRA men Foley & Maher.

    Thank you Cathy. I really enjoyed your presentation. My paternal Grandfather, James Long, built Drimnagh in the 1930s. My Mam was from Sperrin Road and my Dad was from Galtymore Drive. Mam was from Gardiner Street and Dad was from York Street originally. My family still reside in both of these houses to this day. I liked your piece on Ballyfermot Castle, my Fitzwilliam ancestor held the Manor House there in 1307. I married a girl from Ballyfermot, and we lived in South Co. Wicklow for 17 years near the Fitzwilliam's residence in Coolatin. I chuckle to say that my ancestor's smitted the O'Byrnes in this area.

    My Bubbeh was an amazing woman. She taught me so many tricks from her Shetl, where she ran a grocery store: sticking Pfennigs under the weighing scales to cheat her customers, adding water to milk to make more profit, and hiding the fresh produce in the back store room until all the stale vegetables sold out. She really helped me learn how to cheat the Goy.
