Very informative, as usual. Thanks.

Many thanks Eugene.

Nice video Greg, you cover some amount of ground! Would you consider doing a piece on Newgrange?

[@nakedireland]

Love to. The problem with Newgrange is they don’t allow video inside. So that limits things a bit.

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

@@nakedireland Shame, would be a hell of a piece, particularly for the winter solstice. I’m guessing the same goes for the Curragh Camp, given the military presence there?

[@nakedireland]

there may be a way to do them, using photos interspersed with the video or something. But it’d be a shame to do something as epic as Newgrange and not actually show the inside.

[@sandiandgregh]

Great video. As a horse person it was on my “horsey bucket list”. I really enjoyed my visit. Good memories.

[@nakedireland]

I think you’re my first ‘horse person’ to respond. Anyway, so glad you enjoyed it.

[@binflynn1]

That place is heaven for horses

[@nakedireland]

That’s what I thought!

[@WelshRob1964]

You certainly had Irish weather 😆. Those stables were lovely and I would live in those 😁. Its quite a place but to be honest I have no interest in horses, I know some are worth a fortune and expect those were. Black Abbey looked interesting and the thatched cottage was grand too. As you say lost to do there, quite a day out.

[@nakedireland]

Yeah, horses are not for everyone, but it’s a lovely place besides. Glad I checked it out.

[@WelshRob1964]

@@nakedireland Not a place I would ever have thought of visiting and didn't even know it existed, I have been educated today 😃

⁠Ha Ha (UNI) University of Naked Ireland!

That was fantastic! The only thing missing was Micky Marley😎

[@nakedireland]

Alas I think it’s too late now to do a film on Micky Marley! But I remember him well, sitting in high street near corn market.

[@desmcharris]

He used to set up his wee round about on the corner of North Green and Bingnian Drive. I remember how for a penny you could buy his news paper wands that were shredded on the ends to wave as you spun around. I've still got a scar on my finger from a spur of metal that stuck out from one of the twisted brass poles of the hobby horses. I had my own horse, when I lived in West Cork. A bay mare , 15.2 hands, and a beautiful "Bath Trap", made from Elm wood. It was made in Skibbereen, 80 years old, in excellent condition.

[@nakedireland]

⁠I guess then the Stud video was of interest to you as a horse lover.

[@desmcharris]

Not a particularly keen horsie type,Greg. I would prefer to ride a bicycle than hop on a nag. The horse in question was in a word...Nut's!! She jumped to other side of the road into traffic, if she saw a manhole cover! Taking the trap with her! Or completely lose it when a bus or tractor or truck came down the road, again dragging the trap and me into some God awful nightmare scene from hell!! No Greg, romantic as the "Quite Man", may have been, the reality of Nag's, was not for me. Shank's pony everytime.

[@nakedireland]

⁠Shanks’ pony works for me!
