Obituary to Eddie Gleeson

From The Irish Independent

Eddie was a brother of our own late cinema owner, Kieran. Like Kieran he was passionate about cinema and spent his whole life working in cinema.

Those of you who saw A Window in Heaven’s Gable will remember Eddie. He was part of Kieran’s adventure into cinema ownership and the two were close, sharing a family love and great knowledge of cinema and movies.

When You Love your book so much you want everyone to read it….

I have only recently discovered Tadhg Coakley although he is practically a neighbour’s child from my own neck of the woods. His new book is just brilliant.

By the way, my grandson, Sean, brought me the mug from Normandy.

I knew Bobby would love The Game. He does.

People I met

My lovely friends, Peter and Mary McGrath

Peter, who is in his mid nineties, danced in Main Street with a teenage visitor on M.S. Busking Day August 25 2022.

Peter is truly “among the very young at heart”.
