Because they must not interfere with IRHB's statistics on Robin Hood-related place-names and localities in England, British localities outside England are kept apart. Dublin boasts two localities connected by a feat of flight shooting performed by Little John which was so impressive that it immediately alerted the authorities to his presence there – for who but Little John could shoot so far? – whereupon he made his precipitate escape to Scotland.
