Dermot MacMurrough
Dermot MacMurrough (died 1 May 1171) was the King of Leinster. Ousted as King of Leinster, he invited King Henry II of England to assist him in regaining the throne. The subsequent invasion led to Henry becoming Lord of Ireland himself, and marked the beginning of eight centuries of English dominance.

Hay-making
Haymaking became widespread in Ireland during the late nineteenth century. In more recent times, it has been overtaken by silage as the most popular method for preserving grass. It is cut in the summer time and turned in the field for a number of days until it is dry. In the past, crops were gathered into heaps called “cocks”, which were then gathered in the haggard of the farmyard. Barns to protect hay from the elements were widely in use by the early 20th century. Today, hay is generally gathered in the form of round or square bales, which are formed after passing the crop through a mechanical baler pulled by a tractor.

W. B. Yeats, The Tower, London: McMillan And Co. Ltd., 1928
The Tower by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was first published in 1928 . It contains many of the poet's best known poems such as The Tower, Sailing To Byzantium, Leda And The Swan and Among School Children as just a sample. The themes of the poems in the collection dwell on the elderly poet's angst about the decline of old age, his creative drive, missed romantic opportunities and nationalist disillusionment following Irish Independence.
