Expertise

I can answer questions about Ireland. My particular fields of expertise are the natural beauty of Ireland, travel information for Ireland and insights into business and politics here. I am interested in all aspects of our country and can readily find links for aspects of this country in which I am not myself expert. You can see some of my pictures of Ireland at http://www.globosapiens.net/horourke

What do you like about this subject?

Ireland is the place that best fulfils my dream of the ideal place to live, There is much excitement and activity while the climate is moderate and pleasant at all times of the year, We are enfolded by the Ocean and by surface water drifting from the warm Gulf Stream Current.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

More about our people, scenery, resources, wild life, ecology, geology, archaeology, history, and myself

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Milford on the river Barrow near Carlow is a place of exquisite beauty and peace. No well known guide books mention it. Some pictures of my Ireland and other places i visited at http://www.globosapiens.net/horourke/pictures.html

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

We have a lot of new people living in Ireland now. Those who oppose this should remember it is the hard work of these young people in future that will provide economic well being to pay our pensions.
