A chara, – Paul Clements fails to refer to the one about a north Kerry town, where I’ve received the finest hospitality. However, the “poem” needs to be recited: “Listowel, Listowel, a terrible hole, a church without a steeple, with ignorant hoors leaning over half-doors, laughing at decent people.” Not in the least bit true, of course. – Is mise,
