The postal authorities in the Free State charge "Ireland (including Northern Ireland)" at one rate, and pretend that it costs much more to post to Great Britain. I know it costs far more to send parcels to GB with An Post than it does from GB with Royal Mail. One British Isles rate would solve all this.

I am writing about the border and am wondering about something that you might be able to help me with.<br /><br />Presumably up to some point in history the Foyle river on the approach to Lough Foyle was was Donegal's boundary. But, at some later point, Derry claimed a hinterland, a nibble out of Donegal. Then partition followed this hinterland boundary and this is where the border still runs. When and for what original reason was that line drawn? I am assuming it is older than partition but I may be wrong. It is generaly said that partition followed the county boundaries. Does that mean, at some point, Co. Londonderry pushed west of the Foyle? <br /><br />I would appreciate any help or suggestion you can make. <br /><br />Thanks again,<br />GarrettGarrett Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499739666546445352noreply@blogger.com
