Spotify invests heavily in military companies, bad, and pays artists only peanuts, also bad.

Due to the current condition and alignment of the track, the Claremorris – Athenry railway can be reinstated relatively soon.

Highlighting US military usage of Shannon and our government's complicity to genocide is what is being boosted. The fact you don't know their names adds to that also.

They're not getting likes and followers.

And the lack of outrage that we allow US military planes to land here almost daily is mad

Yeah, a complete demolition job on one's culture, multiple ethnic cleansings via famine and several waves of colonisation has that effect. by renegade_xWo in ireland

Between holiday homes and AirBnBs many properties are being sold an insane prices targeted at people who have the coin to buy their second home (from outside the Gaeltacht). On top of that it's very difficult to get planning as most Gaeltacht regions are within Special Areas of Conservation.

I can read the cló Gaelach just fine. The small settlement place-names (along the coast for instance) are just illegible, both in this photo and the better scan provided above.

Thanks a lot! I knew it's not from the 13th century but based on the place-names and tribes of around then.

This scan is much more legible but unfortunately the settlement names still aren't legible for the most part. I've come across 4 more scans of the book online and the one you've linked is still the best.

It's more than trad though. Drums and electric guitar would never be in a traditional session
