THESE PHOTOGRAPHERS HAVE put together two books illustrating the scenery, people and wildlife of Kerry and Dublin Bay
Photographer John Wesson is an Englishman who fell in love with Kerry in the 1970s and has been photographing the county for thirty years, in rain or sunshine.
Father-and-daughter team Seán and Niamh Kennedy have travelled the 30 kilometres from Howth Head to Dalkey Island in their efforts to capture the coastal life of Dublin Bay.
From Dublin Bay: City by the Sea by Sean and Niamh Kennedy, and From Kerry: The Beautiful Kingdom by John Wesson, both published by The O’Brien Press 2017, are available now.
Mayo deserved the win. They were the best team in the league and Mc Stay has for some reason reignited O Shea . Galway will hopefully do what matters come the business end of the year . I wouldn’t rule out a Galway v Mayo All Ireland Final ( Mother of God )
@Finnster: Galway would win it if that was the case.
@Finnster: On the basis of 2001 how much should I bet on Galway winning Sam?
@Bert Carolan: I’d put the house on it Bert
@Finnster: Lol, not the house but maybe a few quid.
This was a strange league, Mayo and Roscommon had to be ahead of other counties fitness wise. Maybe reflected in their good showing.
Mayo do have a soft centre though, will need to be sorted for championship.
@Bert Carolan: 2001 Mayo beat Galway in the league final. Roscommon then beat both Mayo and Galway in Connacht and Galway went in to win Sam Maguire so watch this space Bert : )
Team and supporters should organise a camino from Knock to top of Croagh Patrick to lift the “you know what” so SAM can return after a very long absence. Would be the “icing on the cake” for the county after the US presidential visit to Mayo next week.
@Caroline O’Sullivan: US presidents come and go, but Mayo choking when it really matters, that’s forever.
@Caroline O’Sullivan: yeah no Dublin or Kerry are winning Sam this year Mayo pmsl not going to happen.
Mayo, the only county in Ireland that gives the jackeens sleepless nights.
Galway where poor today, not at the race. Think a better team without Comer, he losted/wasted a lot of ball.
Well doné mayo, watch out for the rossies next week.
@Spud Geshletter: They are about a month to 6 weeks behind in training
@Shaun Gallagher: may be so but all young men, again in my view had some good ball when a point behind.
Comer took on a silly shot from the left and lost some ball all be it well marked.
Had he scored the goal, man of the match. Just think a better side to pick off a few points without trying to hit Comer with long balls. Hence I am not the manager.
I wouldnt rule out the Dubs for Sam -Wouldnt begrudge Mayo to finally pull i o
I wouldnt rule out the Dubs for Sam wouldnt begrudge Mayo to finally pull it off though.
have your say
