The bulls on the Damhán Fhalla oars are badly worn. I've contacted owner Martin, and he agrees they are long overdue an overhaul. Can they be replaced soon, as the boat is off to France and it would be good to wear in the bulls in the intervening period? I'm happy to bring the oars to MM, if required.
Also, some dowel saddles on the lower gunwale of the same boat are misaligned, requiring a little adjustment, say with a drill, so the dowels fit snugly.

Dowel alignment between gunwales and sockets sorted, only 1P did not require reaming

The oars are currently at the Meitheal Mara workshop.
