Waterford is the home of firsts. In 914 it became the first ever city in Ireland when Viking settlers saw it as an opportune location and they were right.

Today it's seen as one of the best places to live in Ireland, one that's people first.

So when you think of your next move, think of a place that's built around living, working, learning, culture, food and lots more.

Think of a place built around you or you can build a better future. Think Waterford first. Visit Waterford2040.com to see why.

Back in 2016, the lodge that I'm still a part of received an invitation to join the meeting of our brothers in Ukraine.

Most specifically, the Pripyat Grand Lodge, which was to be held exactly on April 26, 2016.

And we were a bit scared because we might get irradiated.

Like it's sick. Might even become mutated. Things like that.
