Here are five potential properties. Like just about everything to do with Ireland, our logo has a winding story behind it. How old is that? Hold on to your hat — it was built in BC.
Yes, over 5, years ago. Some think it simply means motion as the three arms look as if they are moving outwards from the centre. In Celtic symbology, motion represents energy, action, cycles, progress, revolution and competition. Some historians and artists believe it stands for other sets of threes: life-death-rebirth, spirit-mind-body, mother-father-child, past-present-future, power-intellect-love, creation-preservation-destruction and even the three Celtic worlds: the spiritual world, the present world and the celestial world.

He needs some refreshment, and his friends have kindly procured for him: two pints of porter and a shot of whiskey. He takes a substantial gulp out of his wide-rimmed pint and turns his head as a hand is gently placed on his shoulder.
He looks up to see the poet, Patrick Kavanagh, a man Kelly knows well from the pub and literary scene. They greet each other and Kavanagh takes a seat. He asks Kelly if he thinks that he can adapt it as a song?
Kelly knows it well. Patrick Kavanagh met beautiful, dark-haired Hilda Moriarty in Originally from Dingle, she was only in Dublin a few months, when she became one of the most celebrated beauties of time.
She was a trainee doctor; she was also a fan of poetry and literature , which is how they met.
