Almanac to the future

OLD Moore's Almanac will be 262 years old in 2026.

- BY DANNY DE VAAL

It is one of the oldest almanacs in the world. Some editions up to 250 years old still sit in the Long Room Library in Trinity, Dublin, next to the Bibles.

It is most famous for its predictions of future events - both Irish and global.

These predictions have been getting great domestic and international news coverage for their accuracy.

Before it happened, Old Moore said Kate Middleton already had a baby on board (before it was announced) and the tot's name would be Charlotte.

In previous years, Old Moore predicted Kanye would have mental health problems and that Donald Trump would run for president again.

He also predicted the rise of Bitcoin more than 10 years ago. And of course, he predicted the pandemic, a year before it happened.

In 2023, he predicted there would be a “submarine drama’ (there was, the Titan submersible).
