[Rapparee]

This is intriguing me. Do you have any crossing letters?

[marie louise]

Unfortunately no. Also stuck on Annual Festival held in Dublin - 9 letters beginning with a B. Any help appreciated, or if I can be of help to you.

Festival...Bloomsday (after James Joyce's character Leopold Bloom) perhaps.

I have one letter --so it is 6 letters - - - - - A

Have you got 16d which would give another letter viz.
Irish mountain (5,4,3) C - - - - , - E - T, - - -

Not doing this crossword, but the mountain
Caher West Top

Slaney -- you're a star.
I was going to google B.B. as a guess , but would never have got the mountain.
