      @@macker33 That viking dicovered Irish cities sounds like legend, as if Irish people never had the sense to settle around the River Lee or River Liffey. Irish people were no doubt there, but Vikings probably used these areas as slave ports as the Portuguese -then British-used Lagos, in Nigeria. But African tribes were there before the Portuguese who gave Lagos its name.
