    Oh dear, in a modern context "little Dutch boy George plugs dykes" isn't quite as innocent as I intended it to be. Tabloidtastic!

    OSF? Would that be Official Sinn Féin? Or Sinn Féin (Gardiner Place)? Or The Workers' Party?

    In these circumstances, what would Michael Collins do?

    Me thinks the Shinners were conscious of their surroundings in having their protest outside a Northern Bank.

    What do you mean? Are you attempting to make a reference to the Northern Bank 'Robbery'?

    Wisard is a compounded dual etymological word.

    Part English and part Irish, its components parts are wis(e) and ard (high). The meaning being someone who is very clever.

    Wisard - a very clever person.
