Damian, delighted you joined us. Refresh my recall -- you are based where in Ireland? And wasn't there a famous Irish actor named Shiels a century or so ago?

Shields, yes, that is the man, Damian. How did Shiels and Shields come to part way?

Arthur Shields was born in Portobello, Dublin, the younger brother of actor Barry Fitzgerald. Shields fought during the Easter Rising, with his fellow nationalists, according to this article in Wikipedia. I wonder if anyone ever recorded his recollections of his time fighting in Dublin.
