==When will I be back?==
I really hope to avoid Wikipedia particularly for the next two weeks or so (until mid-April). I should only be here occasionally for short periods at the weekend/evening or such.
There's lots I want to do here - so I hope I can leave it all aside for the time being.
Feel free to email me, I'll be checking it every day.

== Wikimaps ==
Hi Zoney, Do you know about this new mediawiki project? [http://magnusmanske.de/wikimaps/index.php/Main_Page WikiMaps]
I thought it might interest you.

== Vacations are nice ==
Hey when you have the chance i need to pic you brian about a weird edit. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Football_Association_of_Ireland&curid=439079&diff=0&oldid=0] on the
Football Association of Ireland article, some one marked as a inppopriate joke, but from what i gather, and can recall, it's preety much true. But being that you live their and i don't what would you say about, considering it's been on the page for a long amout og time, and this is the first that i have seen it being a problem to anyone. --

==Editing again?==
I don't know if I'll be back here. I had to give up editing here to write my thesis (now complete). And I've grown to like doing things other than Wikipedia editing in my free time. I may not be back here for some time.
Wikipedia for me has in part been an addiction. Time is a precious commodity. Despite my love of all things Irish and wanting to improve that area on Wikipedia, I don't know that I want to spend time on it anymore.
I'll come back if the Irish tourist board or someone wants to give me a job editing Irish-related Wikipedia articles :)
Goodbye, and thanks to those who have collaborated with me. You know who you are. I wish my fellow Irish contributors in particular all the best, but also there are many many others who I wish the best with their respective areas.
I may be back some time, I do enjoy it here. But I'm afraid of being "sucked in" again. Despite the fact that I never spent obscene amounts of time here, I don't like the notion of being tied to it even for a few hours a week.

== Bye Zoney ==
Good luck Zoney. You'll be missed.

Thanks a million for all your help.

== Goodbye ==
Goodbye Zoney. I too havve largely given up Wikipedia, but for a much different reason. I've become very active at Wikinews, im an administrator there. Im not asking you to write anything, but i'd appreciate if you'd read it! I try to get an Irish story in every day or two; you can check out [http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Ireland Wikinews: Ireland]]. Bye!

Did you create this yourself? If so, would you consider revising it to colour-code the various states of the lines? At present it's difficult to distinguish between the various shades of grey. I'd be happy to do it myself if you can provide the source --

'''''Fáilte'' - Welcome'''
If I can help you with anything, please email me, particularly if you need admin help. You can occasionally find me on
IRC as zoney on #wikipedia. See also the
Wikipedia:Irish wikipedians' notice board.
I've only scored 66 on the
Wikipedia:Are you a Wikipediholic test, despite spending silly amounts of time here, and recently, vastly inflating my edit count by commandeering whole batches of articles and standarising/categorising them. The thought of people with higher scores
really worries me!
About me:
I'm a Christian, Scholar, Irishman and European. My interests include
current affairs,
Ireland and
Europe, the
Irish language,
railways and
computers. I also have a strong interest in Ireland's history and politics.

Western Railway Corridor:''
The
Western Railway Corridor (WRC) in the
Republic of Ireland is a recent term for a mostly disused single-track
railway line running through the West of
Ireland. The term was devised for the purposes of campaigning for the reopening of some or all of the route from
Limerick to
Sligo via
Athenry. Currently only a small section from Limerick to
Ennis sees regular services, with other sections either closed, or only technically open. The route crosses the
Dublin–
Galway line at Athenry, the Dublin–
Westport, County Mayo/
Ballina line at
Claremorris, and the Dublin–
Sligo line at
Collooney – these three routes, still open today, were once part of the
Midland Great Western Railway's operations.

==Articles of interest==
These are
some topics I am interested in, created, or significantly contributed to at some stage. While some items are listed here to show off my work, mostly this is just for my own reference, and to give others a flavour as to what I like doing on Wikipedia. (It's a bit more filtered and helpful than "User Contributions" special page.)
===Europe===
The
European Union. See
Template:European Union table,
European Union Law#Legal history and governing treaties and
:Image:EU_map_names_isles.png.
===Ireland (transport)===
Two major elements to
Transport in Ireland are
Roads in Ireland and
Rail transport in Ireland. Both are currently undergoing expansion and upgrade under the
National Development Plan. The
National Roads Authority is responsible for major roads in Ireland, which mainly focus around
Dublin. The
M50 motorway (Ireland) circles the east of the city, with the
M1 motorway (
N1 road),
N2 road,
N3 road,
N4 road,
N5 road,
N6 road,
N7 road,
N8 road,
N11 road leading to other parts of the country.
Railways in Ireland have
History of rail transport in Ireland.
Iarnród Éireann now operates services in the Republic (except for Dublin's
Luas tram system), with most lines running to/from
Connolly Station,
Pearse Station and
Heuston Station in Dublin. A new terminal is planned for
Spencer Dock. Many routes were built or operated by the
Great Southern & Western Railway. Many lines were shut down over the years, such as the
West Clare Railway. The
Western Railway Corridor is a partly intact closed line, for which there is a campaign to be reopened. One of the Irish rail network's most well-known locations is
Limerick Junction (
:Image:Limerick junction incomplete track diagram.png). Rolling stock used on Irish railways includes
British Rail Mark 2 and
British Rail Mark 3.
Heritage railways in Northern Ireland include the
Downpatrick Railway Museum and
The Giants Causeway & Bushmills Railway.
===Ireland (places)===
The
geography of Ireland reflects its situation as an island in northwest Europe in the north Atlantic Ocean. A ring of mountains surround low central plains, although some such as the
Galtee Mountains are further inland. Peninsulas such as the
Ards peninsula and
Iveragh peninsula are common, with many islands (e.g.
Achill Island,
Fota Island,
Great Island,
Rathlin Island) also. Almost all cities in Ireland are on rivers, such as Cork on the
River Lee (Ireland). Major lakes such as
Lough Erne, and minor ones such as
Lough Gur are scattered through the country.
Most of
List of towns in the Republic of Ireland are settlements hundreds of years old.
