Check out the newest release from extremely talented Irish artist Kiernan McMullan.

The singer/songwriter once again mixes gorgeous vocals with a soothing tune to get you through these summer days. I've always been a massive fan of this guy, and Irish musicians should get our full support.

Make sure to share the song, and have a listen:



PS!!!

Brian Lenihan Has Died



In shocking news this morning, former Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan, has passed away.

He died in the early hours of this morning at his family home. No statement has been released just yet, but a full statement is expected at 11 am.

Brian had been suffering from pancreatic cancer for the last 18 months, but continued his role as Fianance Minister for Fianna Fail all last year. It was clear to on lookers that the TD was not well, looking pasty and tired, but Brian continued in his role.

At the age of 52, Mr Lenihan died at his home in west Dublin with his family by his side. He is survived by his wife, circuit court judge Patricia Ryan and their two teenage children.

President Obama's Visit To Ireland

Me in Moneygall with Obama's cardboard cut out!!


What a memorable day for everyone Irish, American and more importantly from Moneygall.

After spending over a half an hour in the teeny-tiny town of Moneygall today Obama addressed the nation in a powerful and inspiration speech. As well as telling us that the youth of Ireland are the most educated and entrepreneurial in the world, he ended the speech on the note "Is Feidir Linn", yes we can.

Crowds at College Green

The last week is sure to be one of the most symbolic in Irish history. To claim that our small island has changed the world with our positivity and intelligence is an amazing sentiment.

Obama was so smooth today, he really is just awesome, and it's clear from the 40,000 people that showed up to support him in College Green that he has a massive influence on our country and on our future prospects.

Obama downed his pint like a true Irishman

So I would like to say thank you Obama for cheering up the Irish, putting some hope back into our lives...and having a pint of Guinness in Ollie Hayes' Pub!


PS!!

I met many of the locals in Moneygall, and I have to say an event like this couldn't have happened to nicer people. The young and the old gathered together over the last few months to make this monumental day perfect for Obama and the rest of the country.
