@jimnotleo @sligorovers @CelticFC Thanks for the shout-out, Jim!

With @sligorovers set to welcome @CelticFC next month, a timely reminder of this charming children's book by Ballymote native @AlisonHBooks Alison Healy about Celtic's founder, Bro. Walfrid, who was her great grand uncle. Takes the Celtic story back to its Sligo roots. #bitored

@DuffySeamus @jimnotleo @sligorovers @CelticFC Thank you! ☘️

@jimnotleo @sligorovers @CelticFC @AlisonHBooks Must get that for the Shay & Danny 🔴⚪️🟢⚪️

A piece about the passionate punctuation protectors who are fighting the good fight against rogue apostrophisers @Apostrophe_Soc @cibo_oooo

@VillageMagIRE It’s like they are deliberately trolling us.

You can't consider #MarksandSpencer and apostrophes without noting that its flagship Dublin store hosts a triple abomination: neither 'childrenswear' nor 'children's wear' but 'childrens wear'; and the same for 'mens wear' and 'ladies wear'! @AlisonHBooks irishtimes.com/opinion/an-iri…

@FionaGartland That's a great read, Fiona!

Thoroughly enjoyed interviewing former state pathologist Marie Cassidy for The Irish Times irishtimes.com/culture/books/…

@McLaughlin_1888 @WalfridPhD Thanks Davie! It was great to meet you last year. And kudos to @WalfridPhD who did such sterling work in researching Brother Walfrid's life. ☘️

This is a wonderful wee 5 minutes I had the pleasure of meeting @AlisonHBooks last year, on her first ever visit to Glasgow. A beautiful lady. Huge appreciation should also go to @WalfridPhD who sourced this note in London. A remarkable piece of Celtic memorabilia. 🍀💚

@CelticFC @CelticTV Thanks for the great welcome to @CelticFC from @gerrymcculloch1 and @CelticTV. Great to be back in Glasgow to spread the story of #BrotherWalfrid. #CelticFC @WalfridPhD

📝 Brother Walfrid’s Note 🎥 Upon discovering a note written and signed by Brother Walfrid, @CelticTV spoke with his great-great-niece, author and journalist Alison Healy to visit the stadium and see the historical artefact for herself. #CelticFC🍀

@WalfridPhD @CelticFC It was great to see you Michael & to see how Brother Walfrid is remembered at St Mary’s and at the local schools in Glasgow’s East End. A real honour to be there! ☘️

Very nice to catch up with @AlisonHBooks today at St Mary’s on the birthdate of @CelticFC and listen to the great-grandniece of Brother Walfrid recall the story of “The Boy who Started Celtic” to schoolchildren of the East End🍀 (1/2) #faith #community #football

⬇️The Boy Who Started Celtic (8+) by Alison Healy-the story of a boy who sold a calf at Ballymote Fair and took the boat to Scotland. He later became Brother Walfrid, helping people in need and started one of the world’s most well-known football clubs. #ReadIrishKidsBooks

@JoeSmyth10 Thanks Joe, it's not allowing me to message you at the moment.

@AlisonHBooks Sure

Beautiful! I just watched the documentary about Sinead on Sky Documentaries “Nothing Compare to you”, which is excellent. I saw her live in Berkeley in 1990 and watched the SNL episode in 1992 in real-time when she tore up the Pope’s picture. She was 20 yrs ahead of her time.
