After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, British scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the UK newspapers read: "British archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots."
One week later, "The Kerryman", a southwest Irish newsletter, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat bog near Tralee, PaddyO’Droll, a self taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing."
Paddy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Ireland had already gone wireless.
