    The question re Laika was not in accordance with the rules as set out in the opening post, so I'll take it from the Turku question and answer.

    Was waiting for the affirmation from feargale.


    Given that P H Pearse and Thomas Davis were proponents of a free Ireland (Nationalist/Republican)what interesting fact had they in common?

    There may be more than one but I'm looking for a very specific common factor.

    I thought it was accepted procedure here that a thanks from the questioner indicated that the answer was correct. It saves clogging the thread.

    Why didn't you include St. Patrick? Yes, Mr. Davis was Welsh.
