Hello Sooty24
I am sure this is a huge task, but I will be so indebted. Thank you so much. If you have to physically look up the articles, then I will give you only references of the most important ones:

We know so little about the life of our Irish ancestors, and newspaper articles are one way to a glimpse of their daily lives. However exciting or mundane it might have been!
Kind Regards
