Ghost turnips, the púca, fortune-telling and evil abductions...how our ancestors inspire our #Halloween celebrations.
Did you know that many of the Halloween celebrations we enjoy today owe their origins to the ancient festival of Samhain, celebrated by our #Celtic ancestors? Halloween is the eve of Samhain, which falls on November 1 and was one of four important seasonal markers (Quarter Days) in the traditional #Irish calendar

🧵1/3: You can always count on the #Irish to know how to #protest, bringing all generations together through #music, art and humour. By taking aim at one of them with trumped up #terrorism charged for a #chillingeffect, the UK government ended up lighting a 🔥🔥 instead!!

🧵2/3: Thanks to the #London#Irish Brigade for organising the protest this morning at #Westminster's Magistrates Court in support of #kneecap's own Mo Chara (which I've learnt means "my friend" 🥹), thanks to all musicians and people who'd travelled from #Ireland and Bristol at impossible hours to be counted 🫡.

NEW: #Irish Times reports an ageing Russian tanker, Blue, carrying sanctioned crude from near St Petersburg, has entered Irish waters under a false Benin flag, without insurance or safety papers. The 22-year-old vessel, part of #Russia’s shadow fleet switched off its tracking before entry. Weeks ago, reports warned of a surge in such tankers bypassing the English Channel via Ireland’s west coast to evade UK monitoring.

If I were looking for historical information (19th Century) about specific #Irish immigrants in Leeds County in Ontario, Canada does anyone know where I might start looking? Is information like this published online by the county or province or is this something that local libraries might be able to help with?

This is a #lazyweb question, but I'm inquiring for my aunt who has otherwise done a great deal of non-internet work on this over the past 20 yrs. Maybe more is digitized now?
