From Zuckerberg to Irons - why do the wealthy buy Irish castles? 1 hour ago Adam MandevilleBBC News NI BBC / EPA Mark Zuckerberg and Jeremy Irons are among celebrities to have bought Irish castles Why do rich people keep buying Irish castles? It's a question that has cropped up once again this week, following Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's purchase of Strancally Castle in County Waterford. But the Facebook founder is far from the first - the likes of Jeremy Irons, Christy Cashman, and the billionaire John Malone have all bought Irish castles in recent decades. So what exactly is going on? For Zuckerberg, part of the appeal is likely practicality, with Meta's international headquarters based in Ireland. A spokesman for Zuckerberg said: "Mark and his family are excited to continue caring for this historic home and look forward to spending time in Ireland, where Meta maintains its international headquarters." However, Zuckerberg is far from the first wealthy individual to snap up a castle in Ireland.  » Read More

EDITOR’S NOTE:  Mary Frances Ruskell is a sophomore at Dartmouth College. My daughter saw a mouse in her dorm room — what should she do? What brand of rain boots should I buy for my student? Should I hire a private service to wash my child’s clothes, or teach them to do their own laundry? When my older brother decided where to go to college four years ago, one of my mom’s friends sent her a link to something no one in my family had ever known existed: an admitted students Facebook page. Not for the students. For the parents. It was full of posts from stressed-out parents commiserating, ranting, and asking many specific and overbearing questions: What were the specs of a certain dorm room?

Facebook is now home to hundreds of groups specifically for parents of college students. Most of these groups are private and have thousands of members.  » Read More
