Robin, what's all this about the Dear Green Place? Is this a reference to Archie Hind's 1966 novel of that name? If so, it's worth pointing out that "Glasgow" translates as "dear green place".

Ard: do you know where Lathlurcan is? I can't find it on any map.

Of course Casement WAS gay and a victim of the prejudice of the times (1916). The propaganda thing works both ways: I've heard some of the green contingent brand William of Orange as being homosexual!
