Don't forget to put your May flowers out. This old Irish custom involves gathering flowers on May Eve (or in some places on May day morning) and leaving them in front of the main threshold. It was believed to protect the house from harm or evil.

If exhumed, he should be laid to rest @ his home & medieval chapel that his ancestors & likely parents are buried in Lucan. Earl of Lucan; not Limerick! Bizarre & grasping to try to bury him for tourists @ a battlefield he was at- fought lots of battles. irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a…
