Phoenix Park Murders edit

What do you think of the idea of merging to the above.--Vintagekits 20:02, 17 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Absolutely not, one is a detail of a historical event, the other is a biography of an individual.Nwe 15:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)Reply


Public Opinion edit

Although I don't have a reference for this, other than a textbook, Irish public opinion was against the murders. Is it worth adding? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pandaros (talkcontribs) 19:11, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Castle Rat edit

From a couple of sources I've read, the term "Castle Rat" seems to have been used to describe anyone (particularly Irish born) working for the British administration in Dublin Castle. As the page now stands, it appears that this was a taunt/nickname was directed only at Burke though, I don't think this was the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TuamPrefecture (talkcontribs) 10:03, 18 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
