Great to see O'Brolochain and Michael D. there. You'd swear there was an election coming up or something. From now on hopefully all the fairweather friends who attended a launch in a nice warm bookshop will be able to drag their arses out into the rain to get some campaigning done. Top marks to all the Galway Shell to Sea stalwarts however, whose dedication in decidedly less glamorous situations (rainy friday evenings in Westside and trips Bellinaboy to get thrown into ditches) has been second to none.
"Our Story.." is now on sale at Easons in Heuston Station, Dublin. Please pass this on to friends and family who may be travelling south or west by rail.

Absolutely spot on..good to see em there but where are they when it really counts and the cameras arent all on them..
Labour have been incredibly weak on this issue,for such a large party relatively theyve done jack shit.
Period.
Absolute disgrace..and then have the nerve to invite Michael to speak at their conference,maybe that might spur them into action...
Oh no...wait...ah the general election..so much for that then.
See all you good comrades on the 16th.

And a marvellous book it is, too. I attended the launch: what was interesting was to note how a number of Galway's scribes were absent who would, if the camera and media were right and the cause wasn't likely to make them publicly political, normally have been at the reception like a shot. It was a great speech by Micheal D. Higgins. Great to see people with courage, like the Rossport 5, when we have an arts' academy, Aosdána, terrified to open their collective mouth on any political issue, or to broadcast the fact on the rare occasion when they do. There's a button review of the Rossport 5 book on the Western Writers' Centre website slot, 'Kiosque!' See link.
