First gracies call of the new year

[RHClarke]

From CTV News Ottawa: Three popular Ottawa bars are facing temporary liquor licence suspensions for over-serving customers in what the province says has become a "pattern of conduct after NHL hockey games."

Fortunately, our Grace O'Malley's remains pure and unsullied. It will be serving the Guinness next Friday night to slake the thirst of the assembled ROTTERS!

So, who the hell was Grace O'Malley? Good question that we never really pondered when the beer was flowing. However, here is what I found out about our girl on the interweb:

Gráinne Ní Mháille (c. 1530 – c. 1603), also known as Granuaile or Gráinne Mhaol, known in English as Grace O'Malley, is an important figure in Irish folklore, but was in fact a larger-than-life figure from 16th century Irish history. O'Malley is sometimes known as "The Sea Queen Of Connaught".
