Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh… Part of my journey to the Murphy side of the family tree in County Kilkenny just outside of Waterford. My 4th great-grand-father Patrick Murphy married Catherine Ivery in 1791, and they would go on to have 4 children baptized in the same parish in Slieverue. 🇮🇪☘️

“Fhalla na cathrach mean aoisigh”- the Irish for medieval city wall. And the walls do talk if you are an archaeologist. Waterford, also the “birthplace”of the Irish flag?? Or is this mythology? 🤔 🇮🇪

Never settlersplain to me about #stopthechop when every settler can afford to pay $13,000 a seat to attend the superbowl. When that 13k could be going to landback, reparations, mutual aid.
