Sad to hear of Manchán Magan's passing. This time last year we were witnessing my father's decline. An old hippie found hope in Magan's books and documentaries, his creative approach to environmental justice and living a good life. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. www.irishtimes.com/culture/2025...

Now we hear that loyalist bonfires in the north of Ireland are an art form making it ok, apparently, to spread hate and incite violence. The latest hateful message is targeting refugees. This is chilling.

I should be home at the end of summer so I'll give you a ring.
