Terry a chara, I am delighted you have joined us, adding your fascinating perspective and experience forged by your activism in Ireland and beyond its borders.

I will certainly have a think about my world view when I get back from my holidays, am presently in Clare, lucky me eh? I am visiting my family.

Adh mór,
Terry
