If you can, look for BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards online. It must be available somewhere. The Dubs (with Patsy) appeared live having won the achievement award. They sang the Ewan McCall song "Dirty Old Town," appropiately enough as the show was broadcast from Salford, Manchester. Not a patch on Luke I know, but incredible they are still delighting in 1912.
From Nov 09 to March 2010, out of 19 council houses, allocated by Tralee council 11 went to immigrants. Many Irish people are on the housing waiting list, some waiting for 7yrs, and the houses are going to foreigners.

This at a time when Irish children in care are being moved around in different care homes and B&B's. Some of these kids have been abused and committed suicide - they would greatly benefit from a secure council house.
