Thread Name: Origins: Isle of Innisfree (Richard Farrelly)
Subject: RE: ISLE OF INNISFREE
A planning consultant I once briefly worked for applied to Sligo County Council for permission to

"... arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade".

They turned him down on the grounds that it would be contrary to the proper planning and development of the area.
