I've put a note and a link to it in the issue of World Wide Words that
goes out later tonight. (http://www.worldwidewords.org/nl/rblt.htm#N3).
Many thanks to Grant for that helpful summary. Coincidentally, I've also
written in this issue in some detail about the origin of "dude", another
of the words that Mr Cassidy finds an Irish origin for.
