Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

There is a road off Sandymount in Dublin called Lea Road but it has 2 signs on either side of the road; * Bóthar An Bháin (lea road) * Bóthar Lia (lea road) Any idea why?

Who knows

No more than Kildare St - on one end of the street, you have Sráid Chill Dara. On the other, you have Sráid Cill Dara.

Another one: Bóthar Cowper and Bóthar Cowpéir

According to Dublin City Council it's Bóthar an Bháin only now

The Placenames´ Commission have it as Bóthar an Bháin here and they would have the most authorative version. There are lots of dodgy Irish translations printed on signs and Bóthar Lia is probably just another one.
