Ireland has a long history of horse racing. As a result, every year, a large number of Irish horse racing enthusiasts come to the Cheltenham Festival, the highlight event of the National Hunt season, and in recent years, Irish-owned or bred horses have dominated the event. The domination has made people interested in bidding in horse racing events. Unibet is the perfect and most famous site for you to find out about horse racing odds. Nowadays, Ireland's Thoroughbred breeding industry is increasing because of the favorable tax treatment.

On November 14, 1920, a young curate, Father Michael Griffin, was lured from his house at No 2 Montpellier Terrace by the Black and Tans. Whatever ruse they used to get him out of the house, it was not to go on a sick call, as he did not take the holy oils or the Eucharist with him, but went peacefully. He went missing and volunteers and search parties were organised and combed the city and surrounding countryside looking for him. A week later his body was found buried in a bog at Cloch Sgoilte in Barna. There was an international outcry. He had worked in the parish of Rahoon since June 1918 and was hugely popular. He spoke in Irish to young and old, organised feiseanna, currach races, and donkey races on Silver Strand. He was very republican and was suspected by the Tans of having heard the last confession of the informer Patrick Joyce, which was probably the reason why they abducted him and tried to extract the identity of Joyce's killers from him.
