The perfect villain's lair is in Dunmore Head, Kilbaha, Kilrush, Co. Clare, Ireland. It has 4bds, 4ba, €9,75M / $10.505M. Notice the helipad, b/c villains always need a helicopter for a getaway.

It has a huge courtyard out front.

This entrance hall leads to 2 more doors.

That open to another entrance hall with a large niche and a fireplace.

Then another 2 doors with leaded glass.

Open to a stunning dining room. Look at the shine on that floor and the gorgeous ceiling.

On the other side of the fireplace there's a sitting room.

The kitchen doesn't even look like a kitchen. It's very sparse, too.

The primary bedroom has a sitting area with a fireplace.

The closet has a sliding ladder. I can see that there's a reflection in the floor, but it also looks like it could be trap door.

Very nice shower room.

Here's a kitchenette.

And, that opens to a hall with stairs.

Look at the crossover on the 2nd floor.

Plus, there's also another level.

Lovely bedroom with an arched ceiling, fireplace and a door to a deck.

Lovely large shower room. The baths look the same.

There's also a beautiful elevator.

The uppermost floor.

Another kitchen.

Table outside of the wine cellar.

Wow, a super clean indoor pool room that doesn't look like it's ever been used. The water is filled up to the brim.

The 60 acre property is located on a peninsula.

The lair at night.

#OTD in Irish History | 15 April:

1642 – Irish Confederate Wars: A Confederate Irish militia was routed in the Battle of Kilrush when it attempted to halt the progress of a Parliamentarian army. Though outnumbered, Ormonde managed to defeat the rebels and marched on to Dublin by 17 April. 1642 – A Scottish army under Robert Munroe landed at Carrickfergus. 1707 – Birth of Sir Henry Cavendish, MP and incompetent Teller of the…

Disrupt Brief - Concept

For the 'Disrupt' brief, I wanted to do the project around the theme of my family. There are plenty of stories and tales about the history of my family, both adventure and loss.

The story I have chosen is about my family home back in Kilkee, a small hamlet called Moyasta.

The story is known as 'McGrath of Moyasta Shore' and details the eviction of my 3 times great grandfather and his family by the Vandeleur family from Kilrush.

The results was the eviction of my ancestors, arrest of his son the 'McGrath' this story focuses on and the passing of mother Bridget McGrath.

Despite all that, in the aftermath of the evictions and the Vandeleurs leaving Ireland alltogether, my family managed to purchase the house and remain there to this day.

For the 'Disrupt' I want to depict the story that was told to me everytime we went to Kilkee and pass by the house, the heroism and resilence, but also the pain and loss that came with it.

A family history database and Irish ancestry

Medieval map of Ireland, showing Irish tribes, courtesy of an article in SOTT titled "DNA shows Irish people have more complex origins than previously thought"

A family history database is the topic that Pat Richley-Erickson touched on in a recent post, talking about how to use RootsMagic desktop software, "one of two desktop computer programs that can download to your computer everything from your Ancestry Member Tree including attached photos and documents," and even had a video explaining "how to download all data and attached images from an Ancestry Member Tree to a new RootsMagic database." Pat also writes that Ancestry won't get rid of your tree, you just can't "get to the database images you’ve attached to each ancestor until you reactivate your Ancestry account." It is also noted that for " free genealogy websites, a good place to begin is with a free account at FamilySearch.org," with 70% of the digital images not yet browsable or indexed, some of which "must be viewed at your local Family History Center, owing to stipulations by the church, courthouse, archive or library that holds the original documents."

That brings us to a host of other articles. There are some about old Irish phrases, a new Cambridge History of Ireland, zebra mussels arriving in Ireland, and the effect of the Potato Famine in Ireland. One article noted that

The Irish, those born in Ireland and those who claim Irish descent, are to be found in history as well as the present on every continent, from Europe to Asia, from the Americas to Australasia.

That is true of the Mills family, which has ancestors from Ireland who settled in the U.S.!

This post was originally published on WordPress in June 2018.

Most interesting was the story of Bridget O’Donnel, a "poor famine victim from County Clare whose harrowing story appeared in The Illustrated London News on December 22, 1849." Irish Central quoted the interview in which she told this story:

“I lived,” she said, “on the lands of Gurranenatuoha. My husband held four acres and a half of land, and three acres of bog land; our yearly rent was £7 4s.; we were put out last November; he owed some rent. We got thirty stone of oats from Mr. Marcus Keane, for seed. My husband gave some writing for it: he was paid for it. He paid ten shillings for reaping the corn. As soon as it was stacked, one ‘Blake’ on the farm, who was put to watch it, took it away to his own haggard and kept it there for a fortnight by Dan Sheedey’s orders. They then thrashed it in Frank Lellis’s barn. I was at this time lying in fever. Dan Sheedey and five or six men came to tumble my house; they wanted me to give possession. I said that I would not; I had fever, and was within two months of my down-lying (confinement); they commenced knocking down the house, and had half of it knocked down when two neighbours, women, Nell Spellesley and Kate How, carried me out. I had the priest and doctor to attend me shortly after. Father Meehan anointed me. I was carried into a cabin, and lay there for eight days, when I had the creature (the child) born dead. I lay for three weeks after that. The whole of my family got the fever, and one boy thirteen years old died with want and with hunger while we were lying sick. Dan Sheedey and Blake took the corn into Kilrush, and sold it. I don’t know what they got for it. I had not a bit for my children to eat when they took it from me.”

Sadly, for our purposes, John Mills came before the famine, so all the resources about the famine don't particularly apply to the Mills family. Perhaps sites like IrelandXO can help there, but not the recent Cambridge edition, as it covers a period far too early.

That's all for today. For next time!

LADY M

LADY MWe will not raise a glass to toast,For we never had one to share.But we will remember our inner circle,Every Thursday in Kilrush Square.Gone are the in depth conversations,Over coffee and a fag.And wondering if she was off on her holidays,Or to Aldi with her travel bag.No matter what the reasons,We can no longer just say hi.This phase is just so long for now,And not a forever goodbye.For in…

ooh, I've never been there before!! I might've driven through it though, because I've been through kilrush and it's pretty close on the map

there's loads of really nice pretty places by the coast around co. limerick and clare, id totally recommend going by the coast if you've got time. and if you're driving up to bunratty there's a nice place called ballybunion off below it, but it's probably a bit out of your way lol. are you heading to galway after bunratty or is it your last place?

if you are heading up to galway, the cliffs of moher are only an hour away from bunratty! I visited them earlier this year and they were so pretty. I left a doctor who sticker there

How far north? @princeloww I’m heading to bunratty tomorrow, but I’m not really stopping in Northern Ireland I’m afraid

In 2023, we’re going on a Celtic Invasion of County Mayo in Ireland. We’re gonna explore the area and get to know Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/

Cheryl Arvio replied: "Hmmm, well.... I work while listening to the podcast. I catalog books in an art museum library

For St. Patrick's Day my partner and I are doing our annual pub crawl, 4 Irish bars over the course of the afternoon with all the craic we can absorb

Music - wise, we went to a pub yesterday and listened to some traditional tunes, hopefully will hear more during the pub crawl Friday (sometimes the bars just have on NCAA games, sigh) as well as digging out a stack of CDs I haven't listened to in a while. There's some great music out there : - ) Happy High Holy Days to you,"

Jeffrey Shaw of The Muckers replied: "You know what I'm doing for St. Patrick's Day, baby! Keeping those drunks dancing with Celtic tunes : - D"

Von Rothenberger replied from Lucas, Kansas: "Going to the annual St. Paddy's Day Parade & Celebration in Lillis, Kansas (population: 40) and then eating corned beef & cabbage at the Second Street Cafe in Natoma, Kansas!"

Patrick Clark replied: Marc,I listen to the podcast during my commute or walk.  I'm taking St. Patrick's day off to go to Mass and cook Corned Beef (I know it's not Irish, but my inlaws love how I cook it)

I celebrate Celtic culture through music by listening to your podcast, the copperplate time podcast, as well as the Nuacht Mhall podcast and I'm studying Gaeilge through the Philo - Celtic society!  (philo - celtic.com) Go raibh maith agat!"

Ellen Ellis emailed: "Marc, I would love a St. Patrick’s Day show. I will be celebrating St Patrick’s day by playing all Irish music on my radio program called “The Green Willow Show” on WVUD 91.3 at  the University of Delaware, on Wednesday the 15th at 8PM eastern time. I can be streamed in realtime at www.wvud.org.

On The 17th I will probably drink a little Bushmills and watch The Banshees of Inisherin.

I listen to your show while in the car or doing stuff around the house. Thank You for the music you play for the world."

Ken B. emailed: "1.  I am doing work around the house while listening.  2. For St. Patrick's Day I am watching my grandkids.  Will celebrate with a Black & Tan after they are put to bed. 3. I celebrate Celtic culture by going out of my way to find artists of the culture and give them a special listen.  That is where your Podcast comes in handy. You do great work.  Keep it up."

Dennis McCarthy emailed: "Love the show.  Been listening for a few years. I most always listen while driving. I play the bagpipes so I am very busy during the month of March, especially on Saint Patrick’s Day.  The pipe and drum bands that I am in have been playing at many local festivals and private parties in the Saint Augustine area. Thank you very much"

Ellen Mandeville replied: I often do housework or go for a walk while listening. I plan to cook potato leek soup and drink Guinness on St. Patrick's day. We'll be listening to Celtic music while enjoying our St. Paddy's day meal.
