For example a Catholic friend of mine from Waterford who's girlfriend from Kilkenny is Church of Ireland were seeing each other for months before they even realised and thankfully it didnt matter to either. az,

Fascinating to see the 'Act' laid out in map-form. As a Dubliner and Leinsterman I can't believe that the Leinster Irish would be sent west to lands without a coast!
