Yeah, I think there's probably something from both of them in the book.
Oh, very much so.
Like it's a huge number of people who have Irish heritage who have grown up in the UK and have, and I was actually talking to somebody this morning about it online, that she'd had this exact experience of having Irish parents and being the English cousins when they come over to Ireland, even though like they're as Irish as their cousins are, but they are the English cousins.
Thank you for having me, Pat.
Yeah, well, do you know what?
I love that you called me historian.
I call myself an armchair historian because I think my fascination is with little details around the city.
It could be an etching in a brick or it could be a facade on a building, an old ghost sign from an old shop.
I love those things.
And then I go digging and that's what I do online on Instagram.
And this is probably the most interesting story I've ever come across, I suppose.
So I don't remember the Oozle Galley Lounge, but I did find out about it in my research.
And there is a plaque, yeah.
So just behind Donut Shop on Central Bank Plaza, there is a little plaque of a 18th century ship carved into the wall.
And I spotted this and I said, what is that about?
There must be something there.
So I went digging and I found the story of the Oozle Galley.
which was a merchant ship, as you said, it was a merchant ship in the late 18th century, or sorry, late 17th century, should I say.
And it was on just a routine trading mission, went up the Liffey.
A hell of a long way.
