WAR on TG4: 8 Samhain @ 21:30- Elayne Devlin explores why her uncle Paddy and nearly 70,000 other men from southern Ireland ignored Irish neutrality to fight for Britain. Teenager Paddy Devlin became one of the top snipers in the British Army, fought on D-Day and was seriously wounded in Germany. Men who joined up to fight the Nazis were given a warm welcome in Britain during the war, but Ireland was a cold house for them on their return. The huge involvement of Irishmen and women in the British war effort was ignored until recently. This documentary tells their story for the first time, through the eyes of one local hero.

FAMILY: In college, I did a presentation on family dinners, and I learned that kids who grew up in a household with routine family dinners typically had better grades, better relationships with their parents, better health habits, and better behaviour overall. Despite my minor acts of teenage rebellion and occasional family arguments, I consider myself a statistical anomaly.

World Toilet Day, every year on the 19 of November, Mercy International Association celebrates World Toilet Day.
As of today, 3.6 billion people are living without access to toilets, meaning that nearly half of the world’s population doesn’t have safe and sanitary ways to dispose of and treat human waste, either on or off-site. Without the necessary equipment, water is contaminated and that affects drinking water, food crops, rivers, and beaches, leading to widespread disease and threats to the overall health of a community.

This November we invite you to bring the memory of your Irish kin “home” by adding their names to our Ancestors’ Roll-Call HERE. https://irelandxo.com/ireland-

BOOK: Thomas Keneally has visited Mitchel’s life before in his 1999 non-fiction work, The Great Shame, which covered his transportation to Australia, along with that of Thomas Francis Meagher, the firebrand journalist, and others in the radical Young Irelanders group of the 1840s (as well as those of Keneally’s own and his wife’s Irish forebears, John Keneally and Hugh Larkin).
In Fanatic Heart, his approach is fictional, although, as in his Booker Prize-winning Schindler’s Ark, he adheres strictly to the known facts.

The Category 5 hurricane, which made landfall near Acapulco at 12:25 a.m. local time on Oct. 25, left at least 46 dead and serious damage to hotels, homes, and businesses throughout the state.
