What happened to the Mansion House pic?

Another user downloaded a picture of the Mansion House tube station using the same name for the jpeg and it replaced the original, which after numerous attempts we found could not be got back. I don't have the original anymore (I had taken it). I'll have to take a new one when I get the time. FearÉIREANN 19:49, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I might do a separate piece on the Ball family

  • Margaret Ball - mayoress - 1553-1554
  • Walter Ball - her son - 1580-1581 - who implemented the reformation by martyring his mother
  • Nicholas Ball - her second son - 1582-1583 - who opposed his brother Nicholas
  • Robert Ball 1604-1605 and 1609-1610 - Walter's son, a protestant
  • Edward Ball 1621-1622 - is brother, protestant
  • Walter Sedgrave 1588-1589, catholic, married to Eleanor, daugher of Margaret
  • this list continues
  • Francis Taylor 1595-1596, catholic martyr. - Is it true that he is the only politician who is a saint (politician as defined as one holding elected office)?


Is Lords Mayor the correct plural? I would have thought Lord Mayors.

[edit] New Lord Mayor?

www.politics.ie is reprting that councillor Paddy Bourke of the Labour Party was elected Lord Mayor last night. Not citable, and none of the papers seem to have picked this up, though Lozleader 09:19, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maor Tráchta Bhaile Átha Cliath?!

Who provided the above as the Irish version of Lord Mayor of Dublin? It means Dublin Traffic Warden! The proper Irish version should be Ardmhéara Bhaile Átha Cliath. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.202.128.155 (talk) 16:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
