50 unlovely things about Ireland

By mary gilmartin

50 unlovely things about Ireland comes across ignorant, like usual really for the rough guide.

But I also notice an error

25 ..but I’m still waiting to meet Bunny Connellan.

Bunny Connellan was a bad translation from the irish by the english, the correct spelling is Bonniconlon.

I’m reminded of the yank I met looking for Baa-leen-a rather than
Ballina (prononced Bel n ah from Beal an atha).

Considering my bordom of any writer who hated entire countys, I’m glad my
neighbours at home dont need to put up with this idiot.
