THE CHIEFTAINS -TABHAIR DOM DO LÁMH

My personal tribute to the people of this wonderful nation.

The Chieftains are so amazing, I need not say any more about their wonderful music, except - "Long may it continue.."

I thank you for the times I have been able to retreat there, when things have gone wrong. I thank you for your warm hospitality, your amazing pubs, villages, and the gently falling rain.

For the kind words which were always said, and the good deeds done..

For your rejection of the Lisbon treaty.. Hang on in there!

For the bilingual signs, in miles and kilometres - for your eternal fighting spirit..

Long-suffering Emerald Isle - at last find freedom and peace..

True love from a friend across the water..

Bless you all..
