    Although, Boston welcomes them all :-)

    	This topic is an example of what happens when a conference gets
    taken over by Corkmen and similar rabblement.  The real capital
    of Ireland is of course, Glasnevin, owing to its unique position
    at the dead centre of national affairs.
    
    	Most of Ireland's VIPs reside there in bijou one-story residences,
    within easy reach of shops churches, and pubs (The Royal Oak etc.)
106.13WHAT WAS THAT VOWEL,VANNA?USWAV1::KEANEYFri Mar 13 1987 23:099
    
    
    The real capitOl of Ireland is wherever the country's political
    decisions are made. To my knowledge, this would mean that the VFW
    in Oak Square, Brighton, MA. is the capitOl.
    
    Ireland's real capitAl seems to me to be it's ability to withstand
    its lamentable proclivity for "Snatching defeat from the jaws of
    victory."
