Testimonials

Having read it from cover to cover, I thoroughly enjoyed my Ramble through Dear Old Ballina, which I left 70 years ago at age of 15. It is a fitting companion to Dear Old Ballina, and I congratulate you on its style and content. I parted with my copy to an American cousin and his wife who visited recently. He already had Dear Old Ballina and was delighted to have its companion. Hence, please send me a signed copy. Every best wish, K.D., West Sussex, England.

    “We’re building an airport”, Monsignor James Horan told Jim Fahy of RTE News in 1981. “And I hope the Department of Transport doesn’t hear about it. Now don’t tell them … We’ve no money, but we’re hoping to get it next week, or the week after.”

    The extraordinary true story of a ‘simple, country priest in a hurry’ with a dream to build an airport on a ‘foggy, boggy hill’ in County Mayo, brought to the stage for the very first time.
