Delighted to see Colm O'Gorman shortlisted for a @HeadlineIreland Special Recognition Award following the article I wrote about him as part of a series on the late #Wexford priest Sean Fortune in the New Ross Standard this year. Well deserved 👏 Thanks for sharing your story.

Honoured to have launched the Ground Zero 9/11 exhibition at the new Dunbrody Famine Ship exhibition centre in New Ross #Wexford last night. An utterly heartbreaking story of bravery and heroism, told expertly. A must visit in New Ross this month.
