The nice thing about 10K letters is that it's easy to make a decision as to whether to open them or just bag them for the garbage man without further adeau. 500 or a thousand letters would be a lot more difficult.... a person might be tempted to actually try to read some of them.Jack

According to the Irish Examiner http://www.examiner.ie/pport/web/ireland/Full_Story/did-sgyet7L04NptQsgHuTLc4nqWo2.aspThe local post office in Limerick is drawing up contingency plans to cope with the expected mail bags of hard luck stories, including a once-a-day van delivery to the McNamara's. They predict the response to the 115 million win will place too much of a burden on the local letter carrier whose daily round includes St Patrick s Road, where Ms McNamara lives. They said major lott... [ More ]

In a bar I used to hang out in in Boston in '62, surrounded by drinkers with an Irish heritage, the crowd used to sing a song:Oh, we're off to Dublin in the green, in the greenAnd the bayonets are glittering in the sunAnd the band they blewAnd the lightning flewTo the echo of a Thompson gun. Old Delores might just need to dig out that Thompson gun to keep the parasites off her winnings before this is over.Jack

Father Terry O'Connell, who administers mass only yards away from the McNamara's 150,000 white terraced house, said the parish of St Brigid and St Patrick was now the richest parish in Ireland. So where does it say she promised to donate any of her winnings to the parish? That clergyman certainly is assuming a lot. She could be an atheist, agnostic, lapsed Catholic or any other believer. She saw a banker and solicitor and then went straight to collect her winnings. No mention of stopping by any... [ More ]

Now that's nice to see, a community that shares. Not only is Dolores McNamara and her immediate family richer because of her win, but the community and her extended family of relatives, friends, neighbors and drinking pals at the local pub may be as well. God bless the good hearts of the Irish people.... [ More ]

Great - a motor-mouth relative telling every one where the winner is hiding out. Sheesh! To top it off, friends are already selling things to make a profit.Gotta love a town named Limerick though.
