r/irishhistorymemes: A subreddit for sharing memes related to Irish history.
It is always nice to see someone taking an interest in Irish history. I can recommend a text that I have read and that has been recommended to me. Thomas Bartlett's Ireland: A History is the book that has been recommended to me as a comprehensive, single-volume history of Ireland. R.F. Foster's textbook that you have mentioned above is ...
While they're more Historical Fiction than true History books, Edward Rutherfurd's two Ireland books ("Dublin: Foundation" and "Ireland: Awakening" in Europe, "The Princes of Ireland" and "The Rebels of Ireland" in the US) detail some good Irish history, stemming from the early Celtic days to the 1916 rising by following the paths of several ...

Yep, it’s Irish history time. Balor was the leader of the fomorian host. The fomorians are creatures of tyranny and cruelty, huge and misshapen. I could recite a bunch of poetic prose at you about how fearsome or horrid Balor was, but this isn’t a book report, so I’ll just cut to the interesting part. His eye.
Quietly leaving with no goodbyes. However one a phone call we say bye a hundred times before actually hanging uo. Yeah, it's this - sneaking away from a social event quietly.
