Deputy Principal of Fossa National School Linda O’Donoghue, who taught Michael in 4th class, said: “Michael was a lovely, charming young boy. He was very bright, had interest in the arts and history and loved singing.
“He’d a very roguish smile always. Many’s the time if he got into trouble, his roguish smile would get him out of it.”

Myself and two other lads (Philip Christie of O Emperor and Conor Deasy of Biggles Flys Again) have started a Folk & Blues evening that will be on every Sunday at 8pm in Sin É [Ormond Quay, Dublin]. The stuff we do {see above] is quite varied and includes blues, bluegrass, folk, rock n’ roll and lots more. In a couple of weeks we’ll be inviting some of our musician friends to join us on different nights for a couple of tunes. The vibe is very relaxed and there are some great offers on drinks….perfect for a Sunday hangover! Also, there’s no cover charge.
