TODAY – 16 JUNE – MARKS the day in 1904 that Leopold Bloom crossed paths with Stephen Dedalus in James Joyce’s Ulysses.
Bloomsday is usually marked with events at home and abroad but, similar to lots of other events during the pandemic, celebrations to Joyce’s masterpiece will be online this year.
Over his lifetime and beyond, Joyce’s work was celebrated internationally from his short stories in Dubliners through to Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man into Ulysses and the experimental Finnegan’s Wake.
At some stage, many of us would have come into contact with some of Joyce’s work in a classroom or come across a cheap copy of Dubliners in a book shop.
So, on Bloomsday we’re asking you: Have you ever read any James Joyce?

Tony Beets would’ve had it out of the ground already.
From 1p to 3p??..
Tony Beets would still be trying to fix a dredge…
Fixing one while the other one tares it up. Gene is the man for the Donegal boys.
Ye tony Intel shares are only worth bout 30$ for one. So obviously the mining company is valued a lot smaller therefore cheap share’s. The more people buy into it and the more the company grows the dearer the shares are basicly
Just make it happening!!!
This is going to do nothing for the peninsula except line the pockets of the few and satisfy shareholders. I fear for the future of this amazing landscape.
I really wouldn’t worry about it. This has all the hall marks of that Irish company who keep finding oil in Irish waters only to see their share price jump and then fall back down. Also their shares were literally penny stocks. These type of stocks are well known for being involved in scams.
Think about it the only way these shares would have gone up is if someone sold them between the announcement and now. They probably already well know how viable the find is. There’s gold to be had alright but its that of the fools who are buying the shares.
I smell a discovery programme, gold rush smellybegs
They’d be on the wrong end of the county then…
God could you imagine? They’d need to subtitle the fcuk out of it.
Ara sure do it the Irish way. Give the contract to an American company then charge them pittance for every ounce of gold. Sure what would we know about mining gold? Tora lora lora lay
Tony, good one. I’m from Dublin and i work around Donegal and i can’t believe how many people aren’t aware of the size of Donegal.
Yer man has gold teeth already!!!!
Won’t be long now before America liberate us
“Hear em say in Dublin, there’s gold in them there hills”. The Norwegians will be here by Mayday!
“…Inishowen could then be know for its Multi-Millionaires….”
Donald Trump can deck off though.
There is huge local opposition to the Curraghinalt site in Tyrone owned by Canadian firm, Dalradian. They want to build a waste processing plant in the locality of the mine, which has the potential to cause huge damage to the local environment
From what I remember, there is more support in the local towns than there is dissent.
Could open up hundreds of jobs though.
At what cost to people’s health and the environment? Dalradian won’t be around forever, the effects of the mining/processing will
Are you from there?
On my way now with my pan
Not be too long before they sell off the rights to Norway then so..
Not sure if it’s the same company but years ago there was gold found on Croagh Patrick in Co.Mayo, thank god people kicked up about it or it would have been ruined by mining…
There is gold in many places in Ireland, might have to do with the amount of Uranium ore in Donegal as well?
have your say
