St Joseph's Secondary School under-14 team 1997

It’s like a piece of home

Even though the Mayo versus Dublin match was a month ago this act of mayo mischief is still flying high on O’Connell Street in the centre of Dublin.  It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside when I come back week after week and see it still there. 

  

JJ O’Hara and Jimmy Maloney celebrating the arrival of artifacts from Argentina for the Admiral Brown Memorials Park. They have been held in storage in Dublin for a few years.

Only two shows left in The Admiral run at Breaffy House Hotel. A show jam packed with a mix of irish and latino music, song and dance. The show on this Tuesday has Eadaoin Ni Mhacicin from Castlebar joining the Admiral crew. Who recently won Six medals at the all Ireland Fleadh in Derry.
