ARDOYNE - THE AFTERMATH at The Red Barn Gallery
"Their most significant effect, perhaps, has been to bring to light the photographic collection of the late Hugh McKeown, who, while helping evacuate his family, captured the impact of the burning of Ardoyne on its people and its streets."

GAA Discussion / Buses, Trains, and Gaelic Games. Book Review.
September 15, 2009, 09:43:58 AM
John Cassidy is a voluntary steward in Croke Park and as such, he has witnessed spectacular victories, defeats and draws in football, hurling and camogie.
He is a Donegal man who won’t let you forget that his county won the all-Ireland final in 1992. His day job is as a supervisor with Dublin Bus, one of the CIE groups of companies. In October 2008, he was responsible for bringing CIE Transport Gaels to Gaelic Park, New York, to play teams from the NYPD and FDNY; the first time any CIE team played in America. In his memoir, he has written of how his childhood interest in Gaelic games was honed, “In McGettigan’s field in Clogher” and how, “two older boys would select the opposing teams: every one present was included which meant we often played twenty a side. As our pitch consisted of the entire field, this was no problem. With the goalposts (four jackets) in place, the game would begin. It would end for one of the following reasons: Hunger, darkness or a pitch invasion by Mc Gettigan’s cattle.”
I searched the site for a reference to Buses, Trains and Gaelic Games with no result. Being a new member I am not sure if anyone covered this before, if not, here is an excellent review of this book.
