Hi Claire,
Loved your piece on Ireland before and during the war – especially the info that the SOE was modelled on the IRA. Would love to know more about this, if you can point me in the right direction.
Best wishes,
Ml O’Kelly.
I’ll email you about that when I get a chance, Michael.
Just realised that you’re Irish Claire. My family is of Irish stock through and through and I was wondering if there might be a certain disposition to ME/CFs and/or Aspergers that is inherited.
Possibly. There’s a branch of my family in Canada, and someone in that family seems to have ME, and I think there’s definitely AS in the family in general. I believe there have been some surveys that indicate that they can both occur in the same immediate family too.
