Forgettables | Remarkable Irish People/Animals (HB)

Meet some fascinating, Irish people (and animals), who have advanced (or set back) the cause of everything from astronomy to zoology. There’s the honourable but underappreciated Valentine Greatrakes, a 17th-century witchfinder and healer from Waterford. There’s also Miler McGrath, possibly the worst bishop in the history of religion, who appears to have been a Franciscan monk, a Catholic bishop AND a bishop of the Church of Ireland at more or less the same time. Then there’s Paddy the Pigeon, the WW2 veteran who brought the news of the Allied D-Day success to England.
