Still more from Writers' Week

On Thursday last I got a hot tip that John Murray of RTE was going to be on Church St. recording a clip for his show the following day. Camera at the ready, I positioned myself opposite John B.'s old homestead and waited....and waited......and waited. I even moved my location up and down the street a bit so that I would not be arrested for loitering.

Then....... along they came as promised and they even posed for my photo; Bill O'Flynn,Vincent Carmody, John Murray, Billy Keane and Joanna Keane-O'Flynn.

While hanging about on Church St, I did a bit of celebrity spotting. Com Tóibín emerged from The Coffee Nook.

John Malachy Rafferty was strolling by taking it all in.

Óisín McGann

Rob Fossett was doing a spot of shopping.
