Templars in Ireland : 800th anniversary

Officially the Knights Templar arrived in Ireland in September 1220, though documents pertaining to individual Knights Templar in Ireland go back as far as 1177. The first knights may well have entered Ireland with Strongbow's Anglo-Normans. It is debatable whether this constitutes an involvement of the order or (more likely) of individual knights. These plastic knights produced by Biplant were photographed in Wicklow mountains:)
