Limerick Junction is correct - and many thanks for making a start on the Irish ones. I've done a lot of work in Ireland over the years and know the country reasonably.  So I don't always remember how difficult some of these might be for members here.   11, alas, is not Balbriggan, and unless my ability to count is wrong I think it's also your second answer in the first 24 hours  Grin
