"We have Europe’s biggest zinc mine in Co. Meath, a gypsum mine in Co. Monaghan splitting Gaelic pitches in half, a gold mine riddled with health and safety woes at Cananacaw, Co. Tyrone... Aughinish Alumina on the banks of the Shannon, and we’re also host to the deluge of unregulated quarries that litter the island. Extraction is business as usual on the emerald aisle."

if you like wodehouse, be sure to look for the "wodehouse playhouse". It is a bunch of short videos showing all the predicaments he cooks up for his characters, and it is hysterically funny.
