For some their interest is Social Housing and Nursing Homes. How did I find this? A friend was referred from St Vincent’s University Hospital at the worst time of COVID-19 to Raheny. The service was so poor I decided to research the backers and found Bartra. Recommend search of urban abandonments and dereliction via Google.

Centenary of Truce Ireland moves forward on 11th July 2021: Google search: my grandfather was legal adviser to de Valera; he travelled to Kansas with Arthur Griffith in 1916; he was involved in the Sinn Fein Courts, as they were often referred to.
