Surviving records indicate that treatment was often a group activity for 4-8 persons. The sweathouse was heated by filling the interior with fuel (turf, heather, wood etc. as available), and firing the structure for a period of up to two days to heat the stone structure, the hot ashes were then raked out and the interior floor lined with bracken, grass or straw. The bathers entered and blocked the entrance with turves, clothes or some other means. The sweating period could last a number of hours while the structure retained heat. Some authors note that water was thrown on hot stones to create steam. Afterwards, the “patients” would either take a cold plunge in the nearby water source, or go home and rest for a few hours, or simply return to their normal daily activities.

There is NO SUCH THING as "Organic Irish Honey" (due to EU directives making it impossible to certify); 2. In the absence of Organic the best thing you can look for is "Raw Irish honey" (which is of Irish origin, and not heated to very high temperatures, so it retains its antibacterial properties); 3. Blended honeys, or honeys which say EEC/Non EEC are NOT Irish, however they may be packed in Ireland; 4. Look for the NIHBS "Produced by Native Irish Honey Bees" or similar, for confirmation that the honey you are buying is indeed of Irish origin. ]]> irish ireland honey buy-irish big-red-kitchen food organic-food https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:2b96e43b2bda/ The Irish State wishes to uninvent computers with new FOI Bill 2013-08-13T09:44:55+00:00 http://www.mcgarrsolicitors.ie/2013/08/12/the-irish-state-wishes-to-uninvent-computers-with-new-foi-bill/ jmThe FOI body shall take reasonable steps to search for and extract the records to which the request relates, having due regard to the steps that would be considered reasonable if the records were held in paper format.

It’s strongly associated with Irish speech, and serves a broad range of linguistic purposes that I’ll address briefly in this post.' It doesn't derive from the obvious source:
So where does the curse, the not-quite-rude word, come from? It’s commonly assumed to stem from its coarser cousin fuck, the simple vowel change undercutting its power and making it more suitable for public expression. But Julian Walker, an educator at the British Library, offers a more roundabout route: “In faith” becomes the improbable “in faith’s kin” shortened to “i’fackins”, which gradually shrinks to “fac” and “feck”.
