It is a good idea to get youngsters interested in history but besides the financial aspect it should be requested that the submitted snippets / trivia be factual, we have had too much of the other type "history facts". Have you any idea Turtle of what funding Beat 102-103 are making available for this venture ?. Beat 102-103 were more than generous with me some months back, I directed the payment to some of the girls that were assisting me here at the time, transcribing, cataloguing etc. for the Carlow website. I think it's only fair that any info collected via the carlowigp website that the payment intended for subscribers or collected for harvesting same should be put into the running of the site. Have you any idea if this "offer" applies to other county sites ?.
