In 1999, the last time a meteorite was spotted in Ireland, astronomers
were able to triangulate from callers that it fell somewhere in Carlow.
A woman in Leighlinbridge, County Carlow, found fragments which were
later sold on for about EUR50,000.
50,000 Euros???
I paid a handsome sum to the finder, but it certainly wasn't 50,000 Euros.
Isn't the media wonderful? ;-)
Cheers,
Rob.
