Albert Johnson wrote: » Corrected that for you. Leitrim has become better known to the masses in recent years due to the influx of stag and hen parties converging on Carrick on Shannon every weekend. I'm sure I read a statistic that the population of Carrick rose by something like 2,000 people every weekend mainly consisting of the above parties. It's a fair achievement for what's a run of the mill smaller town in rural Ireland.

Albert Johnson wrote: » Leitrim is also leading the trend in social distancing measures for public transportation judging by the video emerging of the son brought home last week from the airport in a cattle trailer. I think the father and son in the driving test result video (an auld bitch of a woman) a few years back were also Leitrim men too.

Albert Johnson wrote: » I used to know all about it, Sunday night used to be more of a locals night at one stage as most of the "outsiders" had returned home. The current restrictions on socializing seem very draconian to me until I realized I don't really go out much anyways. I'd love to say I'm getting more sensible but probably just more unsociable.

That was a lot of goodies in the 1960's! We all thought everybody in Leitrim was wealthy.
