“The first six chapters of the Natural history contain a polemical defence of Ireland. He sought to refute the calumnies against Ireland perpetrated by such English authors as Spenser, Camden, Davies and Hooker, as well as the Old English Richard Stanihurst, who, though a Dubliner and a Catholic, still repeated the discourse of Irish barbarity initiated in the Topographia by the twelfth-century Giraldus Cambrensis.

The final eight chapters tell of the spiritual wonders of Ireland, including its holy wells and St Patrick’s Purgatory, which O’Sullivan also describes in his Compendium of 1621.

The main part of the work comprises some 55 chapters devoted to Irish place-names, land animals, birds, fish, insects, bees, trees, plants and grasses. Some Irish and Spanish terms have yet to be identified.

The text is of interest to Hellenists, neo-Latinists, Renaissance Hispanists and Irish scholars alike because for each entry the author gives the Greek, Latin, Spanish and Irish name. He cites 21 Greek and Latin authors, including Pliny, Aristotle, Ovid and Virgil, to name only those that occur most frequently.”

This is review of the recent 2020 translation of Philip's 'Natural History of Ireland' taken from link at bottom. The middle section of his work is linked above and here, known as 'The Catholic History of Ireland, which accounts Ireland under the Elizabethan era and Irish martyrs. The final part about Ireland + Irish in exile in the post-1604 and Flight of the Earls period remains untranslated but if you can read Latin, you can read it in the Volume 4 of this book here

Mattie McGrath reacts to Micheál Martin apparently making light of his request for support for the pig industry.

Mattie McGrath asks Micheál Martin to confirm that covid emergency powers will end, as planned, at the end of March.
It is strange that such unprecedented legislation would be left to just quietly lapse without a mention apart from this.

In replying to Mattie McGrath's questions about the current energy crisis, Eamon Ryan shows himself to be completely incapable of offering real world solutions in the present, preferring to focus on fantasy energy we might have at some undefined future date.

If Helen McEntee wants to fast track hate laws in response to this, does that mean she will be using them to clamp down on Islam? Or is it still going to be focused on people who have nothing to do with these killings but who want to talk about how to prevent them?

Cathal Crowe, FF, recently spelled out how they see hate speech law. In their mind, its purpose is to silence political discussion that would seek to prevent dangerous elements entering the country. It is a tool against the interests of the Irish people. #Sligo
