-- The note on Gerald's parentage is incorrect and looks like it belongs to an entirely different article!

"Gearoid Lyons now living in Ballindine,Co.Mayo was the son of Frank and Nuala the daughter of James Fitzgerald, 6th Earl of Desmond. "

Clearly this is wrong as the 8th Earl of Kildare is not, and never was, living in Mayo, and his parents certainly were not called Frank and Nuala!

This should be corrected or removed immediately as it is very misleading. It should not have passed Wikipedia's normally rigorous standards for publication. Welys (talk) Welys 30 May 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 13:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ha! I just read this! It's hard to blame whoever it was. Gearóid was quite the character himself. DinDraithou (talk) 03:23, 19 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Lord High Treasurer

edit

I think its very difficult for THIS Gerald to be Lord High Treasurer of Ireland (1504–1514). First of all it are the same dates as are given to his son GeraLd. Secondly, he dies in 1513. This notion (or the dates?) belongs only with his son I think..
