@BBCNewsNI @murphydes1 The mapping of Ireland was an exercise in dispossession. Townlands, parishes were renamed into meaningless, anglicised nonsense ... essentially making people strangers in their own homes. It forms the central theme of Brian Friel's play "Translations".

@BrianLeonardFR Truth! I'm of the age where we all knew someone who "went to visit their Auntie in England" for a few days with a friend or sister ... or were in college one day and then not seen again. I voted Repeal so did my mother, a former midwife who couldn't stand the hypocrisy of it.
