The sun was shining today when we visited Anne Devlin’s grave with Dad in our hearts. Thank you for all the kind messages over the past few days and to those who visited her grave too especially the Liberties Robert Emmet Society and Tom Young from The Liberty Belle.

Congratulations to Michael and John on this fabulous book. With the book being dedicated to Dad I was honoured to attend the launch in Dubray Books this evening introduced by Éamon Ó Cuív. Put it on the Christmas wish list for sure!

Huge thanks to Gerry our MC, Liz, Las our guest speaker, Milla who spoke on behalf of the Ó Doibhilín family, James and the National Collins22 Society, Frank Callery who’s song was played in his absence, Angela for reading her poem, and Tom in The Liberty Belle for a wonderful tribute both to Anne and Mícheál, and of course for the delicious refreshments afterwards as we dried off!

Remembering Mícheál today and every day, a year since he passed away.

In his life he touched so many,
in his death many lives were changed 📖

Looking to make contact with someone from the 1916-1921club if possible about their website which may be shut down next week as Dad's details are no longer connected. If anyone can help we'd appreciate it as I'm sure the association would not like to see the website go. Thanks, Jenny

A lovely, sunny afternoon in Glasnevin today as we held a very special and moving tribute for both Anne Devlin and Mícheál with Lord Mayor Caroline Conroy. Thank you to Liz Gillis, Gerry Shannon and Jim Langton who ensured this event took place exactly as Mícheál wished - with respect and honour for his hero.

“He made you feel like he was your very best friend... he had a wonderful laugh and wasn’t afraid to use it.”

A really lovely appreciation of Dad in the Irish Times today. Thank you to Ray Bateson who met with us and put this together. We are very grateful.
