Now where did I leave my chisel....?;)

It's part of the Longford-Down Massif. I'm up for digging next time I get home.

Great to see that there is more there than they initially thought. Maybe thats why Robinson and his Unionists chose Clontibret (or Clonteebrett as the BBC pronounced it then) to march into some years ago.

They have been taking samples there for years now. I think we should organise a Klondike style festival in Monaghan now. When I was living in Canada as a kid the best time of the year was the Klondike festival that celebrated the gold rush. God I can still taste the mustard on the hotdogs.

Larry don't own the gold though. That's the property of the state. Poor Larry. :D

The quarry men will probably release a song about gold in them thar hills.

Big Tom is already on the case I believe, 'My golden drumlin home' should be hitting the shops soon! :cool:

The Dublin government will probably sell the land off to a Scandinavian semi -state outfit :mad:

For €2.

[Magicme]

For €2.

You are silly to underestimate FF. They are shrewd negotiators dont ya know and will get at least €10.

I meant the state, not FF. They'll be making a lot more than €10. Who was it who was signatory for Corrib again?
