About
While I am a seasoned Apple Macintosh computer professional, my personal interest is as a Postal Historian specialising in Irish Postal history and Aerophilately of Ireland for the last 25 years. My particular interest is in postal censorship (civil) of Irish mail by both the British and Irish authorities during The Emergency.
For my sins I act as webmaster for several philatelic societies because I believe in providing as much quality educational information to fellow philatelists and postal historians.
Two Irish history writing Pet peeves
It really annoys me when people who should know better use the word Eire when they should use Éire. My second issue is when writers use the term United Kingdom, which nowaday refers to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, when they are talking about Ireland's membership, pre-1922, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. These are specifically and legislatively distinct and different enities and should be refered to correctly within their time period.
Wikiwork
Work in progress
The request by the Irish Wikipedians' notice board for an article on Postage stamps and postal history of Ireland prompted me to write Postage stamps of Ireland that went online in May 2006. If you have any input/constructive comments please put them on my talk page. Additional sub-articles are needed for expansions of some of the major topics contained therein. Postal history of Ireland will also be needed because any decent article for postage stamps and postal history would be too long if combined and I have also started that.
As of Jan 2006 the Dublin postal districts article does not refer to the system that was introduced in the late 1920's but due to lack of interest by the public, and lack of government encouragement, was allowed to extinguish itself within about 10 years. A large quantity of Irish National Archives material has provided the documentation to fill this void.
Articles in need of expansion/correction
- Pillar boxes need expansion to include the boxes of Ireland both pre-1922 and post-1922.
- The Emergency could do with information about the control of all communications by Irish censorship during this time
