So The National Folklife Museum is a new building on the grounds and the old victorian house is being used for offices? Lots of space. Hope the workers are productive. I suppose the old bear pit is still there. As for sligo in west mayo the old people didnt have much good to say about the Browns as landlords or magistrates. People I knew who went through hard times without education or money or tax breaks would have a tough time with this. If the politicians and business men are croked then get elected if you can and change things. Just pointing things out wont solve anything. People are either part of te problem or part of the solution. But Ill bet the ould money is well protected and beyond the glaum of the taxman.
