So much Irish textual material is available on internet today that it seems to me a census, not a Gateway, “hub” or portal is now needed! When examining this page, please be sure to scroll down to the main listings which sit below the first visible links - being the ones that have recently grabbed my enthusiastic attention. [BS]
