It certainly feels like I’m in an institution at times. Seriously it’s great to see positive initiatives taking place in Carlow. There’s a sense of energy & enthusiasm. There’s also a huge amount of work to do. So that energy will be needed. Anyway here I am prattling on.

Things that I really enjoy about my job.

Come work with me. I’m mostly sound.

Light lunch.

Hvar.

The joys for working in a family business.

Good things come to those who wait. And it’s been a minute.

Top five pope, for me. TullysBarCarlow

Kegs of vodka? What a time to be alive.

Site notice up on the Kilkenny Road Carlow campus for the new Health Sciences Building. Fantastic to see the continued development of South East Technological University in Carlow.

New Orleans is my kinda place.

Vegas has her now.

Nine lovely years of TullysBarWaterford today. A massive thank you to everyone who has ever sold a pint or bought one, sang a tune or told a tale in it. Here’s to many more.

This is my Christmas wish.

It’s not Christmas lads unless the mother has changed broadband provider days before the big day and there’s no tv in the house unless you can reconnect sky boxes, mini boxes, Q boxes, boosters and whatever you’re having yourself. All set now for Da to fall asleep too.

Catching Kansas City Chiefs at the Pittsburgh Steelers here in Ireland with my nephew Ben. Scott Hanson Drew Brees will we see the Steelers in Ireland next season? #NFLonNetflix #KCvsPIT Netflix NFL

Few of us out. Luck to work alongside this crew in Carlow & Waterford.

Paging Damian here’s one for you, or anyone else who has a good suggestion. Any pub easily accessible from the M6 between Galway City and Ballinasloe good for a quick visit?

Fantastic to see O'Hara's Irish Craft Beer & Leann Folláin getting this coverage. Well worth a read.

“UCD can’t own Val Thorens. People from Donegal go there.” Direct quote from a young student with what I think you would class as a fancy south county Dublin accent in our local northside pub this evening. As an ex UCD Snowsports Club member and big VT fan I take this loss hard
