The estranged son doesn’t come out of it well at all. He represents the bad side of the new generation.
Maggie’s husband Mark is interesting as well. Views the rosary as being in jail from which he needs a drink (the irony being that drink is its own oppressor and to which he falls foul).
I recall that getting rave reviews towards the end of the 90s. I have purchased it but I have a few more to read before I get to it.
You’ll enjoy it. The juxtaposition between Ballinamore and Mohill is an additional theme to it.
He cleverly moves the noted Ballinamore republican from his own pub to become the owner of what is clearly Luke Earleys. I’ll leave it with you but you won’t be disappointed.
Which one of them are you?
Mercifully, while I’d count every character in the book my friend and neighbour, I’ve escaped un-scathed. We had what you’d call a mutual distrust of each other. He’d clashed with Boxty Mór and we dealt with matters at arms length thereafter.
Putting past issues aside I spoke glowingly of him on the evening news the day of his funeral. A local, aware of our past differences, commented favourably on my ability to speak out of both sides of my mouth at the wan time.

Anyone ordered books since the new year from the UK, say from Amazon UK or the book depository and if so any issues or did they arrive seamlessly?
I’ve ordered some records that came. A bit slowly but came. Books should be same?
I got IT equipment
Maybe a day slower than usual
The nephew said it took five weeks for a book to arrive
I knew Legacy would be in there. That book is the reason cunts are taking videos of themselves sweeping out dressing rooms. It’s also the reason you have managers bleating about making their team “Better People”. Fuck the All Blacks. Better People me hole

Eh, mate you can’t really point fingers about filthy and cynical
I just did. I’ll have to go
