Immense.

One of the great Irish performances and results.

Will only matter if we win in Hungary but I'd say Hungary had probably written us off so we can give it a go.

I'm saddened to learn that Irish poet Mary Guckian passed away in September. She had been ill and we were in touch by phone and text over the summer.

She wrote beautifully about life and her childhood home in Leitrim.

Here she is in her younger years.

Don't mean to brag but I just scored 9 (!!!) books for my e-reader from @haymarketbooks.org and threw in a couple extra bucks to support the cause - for a grand total of $20.

GO NOW.
