John Scotus Eriugena has the oldest Irish joke (c. 815 – c. 877)
The French king sat opposite him and asked.
‘Quid distat inter sottum et Scottum?’ (What separates a drunkard from an Irishman?),
Eriugena replied, ‘Tabula tantum’ (Only a Table).

Jacob Marley, he was Scrooge’s business partner
Back in the day, that fiver would buy a 3 bed and feed a family of 4 for 6 months . You’d also get 50p back to spend on penny jellies

Pretty sure its the Dungeon Master from the 80s cartoon
That is a “Series B” five pound note first introduced by the Central Bank of Ireland in 1976. It was replaced with the “Series C” five pound note in 1993. The picture depicts Johannes Scotus Erigena, an Irish philosopher, theologian and poet from the 9th century. On the reverse side there is an extract from the Book of Kells. It’s worth approximately €6-7 now.
