The splendid view was captured by Michael’s brother – Con Meade of Cloghoulabeg, Millstreet who with his daughter, Fiona, recently spent almost a fortnight in Canada.  Noreen’s excellent book has gone global at this point and it’s truly uplifting to note the Irish Diaspora requesting the book in such numbers – such as here in wonderful Toronto.
