[edit] Golf links
I did not know that about the Royal Dublin owning their course. But St. Anne's do just lease from the Council, yes? Twilson r 00:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1914 to 1961
Surely a typo - the British Army left the island long before 1961, but when? Autarch (talk) 12:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Looks like this section was meant to be a whole phase of history but was left unfinished. Well spotted! SeoR (talk) 12:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, seems someone meant to do more and stopped, diff:

- I found a sentence that might explain it here: On the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, the Bull Island was taken over by the British army for arms training but they departed after the Rising of Easter, 1916., but I don't know how authoritative it is. (It does mesh with a very faint memory of mine, but I'm certain there's a Wikipedia policy covering that! :-)) Autarch (talk) 17:03, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
