Working class heroes

There's something rather homespun and typically Irish about the way Dundalk FC's fairytale has mushroomed into the sports story of the year (yes, even bigger than Leicester City's English Premier League title win). We are firmly ensconced ...

Former titans of the town

I spotted the photograph accompanying this article on the wonderful online resource 'Dundalk Northend and Friends' Facebook page last week. In a single moment - as the best photographs usually do - it captured what 'old' Dundalk was all ...

Death may have no dominion, but what about dying?

We wake the dead better than the rest, that's for sure. We take personal loss on the chin like a true heavyweight and jab a quickfire joke in reply, if needed. Death simply has no dominion over us Irish. And there is ...
