Irish Roots . . . to be continued

The Irish Times has axed John Grenham's Irish Roots column. The last column will publish on 8 February, seven years since it started.
That's sad news from John, but the good news is that he will continue writing about column topics on his blog at http://johngrenham.com/irishroots/.
As he writes, it will be without the benefit of "sub-editors and libel lawyers looking over my shoulder."  Let's hope they don't prove as essential as telephone sanitizers to Golgafrinchans in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker’s Guide series. If you don't get it Google it!
