    Thanks for your message and for sharing this piece of local history on the Ireland Reaching Out messageboard. It is great and very poignant to remember the victims Christmas Day 180 years after it happened. I think tragic events such as these should never be forgotton from our local history.

  • Weekends are not a good time to post status updates you would like to be popular for a couple of reasons. For starters, most people have a tendency to go more on the weekends and therefore will use less Facebook, therefore, fewer people will see your status update. Moreover, even people who sign often do not want people to know who are online at the weekend, as it is supposed to be no social and stay on the weekend while they should be out of the fun.
